Logical Fallacy of Dehumanizing
The Logical Fallacy of Dehumanizing occurs when an ad hominem attack is made in such a way as to portray the target of the attack as not really human rather than discussing the issue using sound reasoning.
Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Dehumanizing
When a label is put on a group of people, it can become a dehumanizing mechanism:
- Black
- White
- Fundamentalist
- Holy roller
- Global-warming denier
To make a person or group of people the target of jokes is a way of dehumanizing.
