Logical Fallacy of Self-ExclusionSelf-exclusion is one of the many smokescreens that are used to cover the fact that the reasoning is based on one of the three fallacies of Agrippa's trilemma. Whenever a logical fallacy is committed, the fallacy has its roots in Agrippa's trilemma. All human thought (without Divine revelation) is based on one of three unhappy possibilities. These three possibilities are infinite regression, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This problem is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known without Divine revelation; however, that is not true. Without Divine revelation, neither logic nor math can be known. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. The Logical Fallacy of Self-Exclusion occurs when rules, logic, standards of truth, etc. apply to other points of view but not one’s own. This is a form of special pleading. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Self-Exclusion
Sandy excludes himself. This is a form of special pleading. Self-exclusion can seem very intimidatin gwhen it is being used against you and you are speaking the truth. However, just keep your focus on the truth rather than getting tied up in silly debates.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
