"Begging the question" is a form of logical fallacy in which a claim is automatically assumed to be true without evidence other than the statement or claim itself. It is also known as a form of circular reasoning.
The phrase is commonly confused with "raising the question," an error that has gained traction through incorrect popular usage.[1]
Examples
- "If such actions were not illegal, then they would not be prohibited by the law."
- Person 1:"He is very ugly."
- Person 2: Why do you say that?"
- Person 1: "Because he is so unattractive."
