Logical Fallacy of Self-Refutation / Conflicting Conditions / Contradicto in Adjecto |
Logical Fallacy of Self-Refutation / Conflicting Conditions / Contradicto in AdjectoSelf-refutation 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 regress, 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. There is no reason to trust either logic or math without Divine revelation. 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-refutation / conflicting conditions / contradicto in adjecto occurs when a statement is made that is inconsistent with itself to the point that it refutes itself. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Self-Refutation / Conflicting Conditions / Contradicto in AdjectoThe assumptions of Naturalism and Materialism are both self-refuting. If they are true, then they prove themselves to be false. The reason is that they both claim that there is no God. The only way that anyone could possibly know such a thing is by divine revelation of some sort. But they have ruled that out since they claim that there is no God.
If there is no truth, then this statement cannot itself be true. It refutes itself.
if nothing is absolute, then this statement itself is not absolute. This is often answered with, “Are you absolutely certain?”
You must exist to deny that you exist.
You cannot scientifically prove that so you can’t know it.
This person is asking you to disbelieve him. You can’t prove his statement by the five senses, so the statement cannot be believed.
If this statement is true, then it is false, or it cannot be known for sure. Author/Compiler Last updated: Sep, 2014 Bread Crumbs Main Foundations Home Meaning Bible Dictionary History Toons & Vids Quotations Similar
