Begging v. Raising Aggghhh. Before it drives me insane, allow me to explain the difference between raising the question and begging the question. Something raises a question when it brings up an important point that needs clarification or further inquiry. Begging the question, however, is a specific logical fallacy. Also known as petitio principii, it occurs when the truth of a question is assumed by the premises. Every time I see this misuse, my little inner grammar fascist has a hissy fit. posted by hilary at 11:06 AM | 2 Comments:Links to this post: |
AMEN.
Ah, logical fallacies.
