Logic and Critical Reasoning Applied

6 weeks · 0 milestones

Identify and formally document logical fallacies or reasoning errors in a real public argument — a named political speech, named media editorial, named policy document, or named public figure's published statement (named and dateable). For each reasoning error identified: name the fallacy or error type, quote the specific passage from the text, and explain why that passage commits the error and what a valid version of the argument would look like. Proof is your analysis plus a documented challenge from a logician or philosophy academic who contests at least one of your identifications — specifically, whether it is genuinely a fallacy or a rhetorical move that can be reconstructed as a valid argument. Your written defence of your classification is a required part of the proof.
