As someone with a philosophy degree and specialty in logic, reading Prager’s article and Charles’s response….which correctly points out the straw man issue….I am struck that Prager’s arguments against Charles assume that Charles was arguing deductively. While when you read Charles’s original post, it is clear he is arguing inductively. Deductive reasoning is when one argues that conclusions follow necessarily from premises. Inductive reasoning is a probabilistic argument indicating that the conclusion can be reached by reliable generalization. So when Prager says “not all people on the Right are Fascists….he is assuming that Charles’s has implied “all” when Charles was really just saying that a high enough percentage are fascists to make me uncomfortable with the lot.
