Problem: In Clear and Present Thinking, the author remarks, "Remember, the point of philosophical discussion is not to win, nor is it to show off how smart we are. The point is to advance everyone's knowledge. Thus, the reason for studying the fallacies is not to humiliate and silence those who commit them. It is to identify everything that doesn't serve the case, and gently blow it away so that we can try again." Pick three fallacies and describe them. Are these fallacies you've observed before? If so when and where? Can you think of some ways or some circumstances where identifying fallacies might be a very useful skill? Explain. Conclude with a question designed to open up further discussion.
