* 当你与别人讨论,尝试获得答案或解释时,你可能会遇到一些人犯上逻辑谬误。这样的讨论是无意义的。你可能尝试向对手要求证据或提供其他假设,令你获得更好或更简单的解释。如果都失败,可以尝试指出你讨论对手的问题。你可辨认他的逻辑问题以免深究,以及可告知讨论对手关於他的谬误。以下是简单介绍其中最常见的谬误: 人身攻击(ad hominem) o 拉丁语「向着人」的意思。辩者用人身攻击来攻击对手,而不是在讨论议题。当辩者不能用证据、事实或理由去维护他的立场,他可能透过标签、稻草人、骂人、挑衅及愤怒的人身攻击方式来攻击对手。 诉诸无知(appeal to ignorance / argumentum ex silentio) o 以诉诸无知作为某些证据。(例如:我们没有证据说神不存在,所以祂一定存在。又例如:由於我们没有关於外星人的知识,这表示他们并不存在。)对某些东西的无知,是与它的存在与否无关。 全知论据(argument from omniscience) o (例如:所有人都相信某些东西,每个人都知道的。) 辩者需要有全知能力以清楚每个人的信仰、怀疑或他们的知识。小心如「所有」、「每个人」、「每种东西」、「绝对」等词语。
