Ad Hominem, Straw Man, and Red Herring

4 Abschnitte1 Karteikarten-Decks1 Quizze

A practical guide to three of the most common fallacies of relevance -- ad hominem, straw man, and red herring -- each of which diverts attention away from the substance of an argument. Learners will learn to distinguish legitimate critique from personal attack, accurately represented positions from distorted ones, and on-topic responses from evasive deflections, with applications to meetings, negotiations, and written communication.
