FALLACIES OF INCONSISTENCY

 

One who attempts to advance an argument that is self-contradictory commits a fallacy

 

of inconsistency. If an argument is self-contradictory, there is an inconsistency or

 

incompatibility among its parts, and the argument is therefore structurally flawed.

 

And it is a very seriousflaw, because being caught in a contradiction between premise

 

and conclusion or with contradictory premises destroys the effectiveness of one’s argu-ment, and no acceptable conclusion can be drawn from the premises.

 

In most cases, the inconsistency or incompatibility in question is implicit rather

 

than explicit. Cases in which the inconsistency is explicit are relatively rare because

 

they would be so easily detectable. Statements are implicitly inconsistent if at least

 

one of them implies or could be legitimately interpreted as implying a statement that

 

is inconsistent with another premise or with the conclusion in the same argument

 

Incompatible Premises

 

Definition Drawing a conclusion from inconsistent or incompatible

 

premises

 

Since A, (premise)

 

and not-A, (premise)

 

[No acceptable conclusion can be drawn.]

 

According to thelaw of noncontradiction (not both A and not-A), an argument

 

with two contradictory premises cannot be a good one because one of the premises

 

 

must be false. Thus, no acceptable or nonarbitrary conclusion can be drawn
