One Liners:

  1. Fallacy is a general type of appeal or category of argument that resembles good reasonig, but that we should not find to be persuasive.
  2. Illicit Negative is affirmative conclusion from a negative premise, it is a formal fallacy that is committed when a categorical syllogism has a positive conclusion and one or two negative premises. Example: No man is a cat. No Cat can dance. Therefore all man can dance.
  3. Illicit Major: is a formal fallacy committed in a categorical syllogism that is invalid because its major term is undistributed in the major premise but distributed in the conclusion.
  4. Illicit Minor: A formal fallacy committed in a categorical syllogism that is invalid because its minor term is undistributed in the minor premises but distributed in the conclusion.
  5. Fallacy of the Undistributed Middle: is also known as maldistributed middle, the undistributed middle term. A formal fallacy in a categorical syllogism where the middle term, or the term does not appear in the conclusion, is not distributed o the other two terms.
