A Philosophical Study of Some Logical Fallacies in Daily Life
Description
This paper aims to explore the occurrence and impact of logical fallacies in daily life. Logical
fallacies are dominant in everyday conversations, media, and decision-making processes. The
research problem is that: Why do logical fallacies persist in daily life, and how to avoid these
fallacies in human reasoning, decision-making, and interpersonal interactions? The research
finding is that fallacies often distort reasoning and affect judgment, leading to illogical
conclusions. This paper argues that while logical fallacies are a natural part of human discourse,
being aware of them can help individuals improve their critical thinking and decision-making
skills. This paper used both descriptive and evaluative methods to explore various logical
fallacies, providing an in-depth analysis of their impact on decision-making and
communication. This study contributes to the understanding of how fallacious reasoning shapes
our beliefs and social dynamics, suggesting ways to minimize their impact on rational thinking.
