Fallacies Online

This has been my main project for the past couple of years now: a website that attempts to document, categorise and explain as clearly as possible all forms of fallacies, misconceptions and misguided approaches such as “anti-patterns”.

Although a considerable number of articles have already been published, the project is far from complete. Entire subject areas have barely begun, if at all.

In fact, the only subject area that is even slightly sketched out is that of logic.

From rhetorical fallacies to erroneous reasoning

The most important development in the last few years has been the shift in scope, from a wiki on logical and especially rhetorical fallacies (hence the original name “ad.hominem.info”) to that of erroneous reasoning. Hence the move to a new site under “fallacies.online” and a re-categorisation of numerous general fallacies into a new category system. This has not yet been finalised and will probably take quite a while, but at least it shows where the journey is heading.
