Argumentum Ad Hominem – an argument pattern that you may think you understand – but actually is often misunderstood. But in my lastest YouTube video, I examine Argumentum Ad Hominem and discuss (1) what Argumentum Ad Hominem is (2) how to verify whether or not it has been used – and if it has been used, then (3) how to determine whether it was used validly or fallaciously.
In the video, I use a flowchart that I put together to graphically depict the assessment algorithm for Argumentum Ad Hominem. If you later want a copy of the flowchart for your own reference as you assess other suspected cases, you can obtain it by clicking here.
