(Real) Fallacies in Concluding

[under development]

o mistaken application of terms.

EXAMPLE: In Insensitive Semantics, Cappelen & Lepore assume that the context-sensitivity of 'semantic content' be minimal, if at all admissible: apparently they thereby mingle up two central terms introduced by Kaplan, 'character' and 'content'. 

[! Keep separate from 'Circular Argumentation'] 

o inductive (!) argument inexhaustively executed. [! Double in 'Induction Problem'!]

EXAMPLE: Quine's argument against 'analytic' truths and, more particularly, meaning theories.

EXAMPLE: [~] Moore's argument against naturalistic reductions of 'good' in his 'Principia Ethica'

o Circular Argumentation

Most often caused by idiosyncratic definition!

EXAMPLE: 'Refer' in Thomasson's case against existence criteria.

EXAMPLE: 'Relevant' in arguments from 'Relevance Theory'.

EXAMPLE: 'Meaning' in some logical positivists' arguments against 'metaphysical' statements.
