What is fallacy circular reasoning?

Circular reasoning, also known as begging the question, is a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument is essentially the same as the premise. This creates a situation where no evidence is provided to support the conclusion, as the conclusion is assumed to be true from the beginning. It is a weak form of reasoning as it fails to provide any new information or evidence to support the point being made.


Is reasoning the same as logic?

They flow hand in hand. One must use reasoning to understand logic. Logic is based on a set of principals. Reasoning is sometimes random and yet incorporates logic in a degree. If one had "a" "b" and "c" to deal with, and the question was, "Who did it ?" , one would have to use deductive reasoning to understand the relationships between a,b,c. The relationships of a b and c are definitely related to each other and with the set rules of logic coupled with reasoning one should be able to gain an acceptable result as to "Who did it?" Without reasoning.....one would never achieve logic. To be completely objective is to gain a foot hold on logic. I believe there is a conduit between reasoning and logic....it is called understanding.


What kind of reasoning proceeds from premises that are known to be true and is then used to arrive at a conclusion that is also known to be true?

Deductive reasoning proceeds from known true premises to a logically necessary true conclusion. This type of reasoning guarantees the truth of the conclusion if the premises are true.

Why is deductive reasoning stronger that inductive reasoning?

Deductive reasoning is considered stronger because it involves drawing specific conclusions from general principles or premises that are assumed to be true. In deductive reasoning, if the premises are true and the logic is valid, then the conclusion must also be true. In contrast, inductive reasoning involves drawing general conclusions from specific observations, which makes it more prone to errors and uncertainties.

What word means when two ideas are used to prove each other?

It is sometimes called a circular argument or circular reasoning. Aristotle called it petitio principii. It is also called "begging the question" (a translation of Aristotle's term, which is itself a translation to Latin from the Greek) , an expression a number of people misuse because they do not understand it. A typical question-begging argument is: Everything in the Bible is true, and this is proven because it says so in the Bible. And it is true when it says something in the Bible because everything in the Bible is true. The two ideas are used to justify each other. Another example is: Muslims are terrorists. We know because every time we hear about Muslims they are being terrorists, because terrorists are always Muslims. And we know that because every time we hear about terrorists, we are told they are probably Muslims, because Muslims are terrorists.


What is obetor dicta in law?

Obiter dicta is a remark made by a judge which forms no part of the reasoning that is directly responsible for the verdict (called the 'rationes decidendi" also called simply "the ratio").
