What Is Objective Logic In Part 1: Preparing The Mind For Logic?

In Part One: Preparing the Mind for Logic, McInerny first denotes two ideals. The first is objective logic; ideas that derive from concrete facts. If one thinks of an idea of a cat, this is a solid idea since one knows exactly what a cat looks like from physically seeing the animal the world has named cat. Objective logic is broken down even further to facts. One fact is described by a tangible idea such as The White House. The White House existence can be proven on its own. It exists in life; we ourselves can physically see it with our own eyes (McInerny 2004, 4). The next fact one has to prove through research.

Person A states they have not, thus Person B says they are right that reincarnation does not exist. He bases this on the fact that Person A is wrong in their eyes and cannot prove it so person B claims he must be right. The False Dilemma explains how either/or is used in an argument, but yet there could be other possibilities, but you are convinced in the argument of only two. For instance, the statement of, humans were either created from nothing or a great spiritual being, other gives two possibilities of how humans were created, and persuades you to pick one or the other, not mentioned any other causes. It forces the audience to choose what the speaker wants. Lastly we have the Simplistic Reasoning fallacy, which depicts giving in to your audience and either telling them things they want to hear while telling them false information just to please them. An example would be telling an audience full of vegetarians that eating meat is horrible, when in fact your data supplements the opposite, that we need meat in our
