常见逻辑谬误:appeal to emotion/诉诸感情

appeal to emotion

You attempted to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

Appeals to emotion include appeals to fear, envy, hatred, pity, pride, and more. It's important to note that sometimes a logically coherent argument may inspire emotion or have an emotional aspect, but the problem and fallacy occurs when emotion is used instead of a logical argument, or to obscure the fact that no compelling rational reason exists for one's position. Everyone, bar sociopaths, is affected by emotion, and so appeals to emotion are a very common and effective argument tactic, but they're ultimately flawed, dishonest, and tend to make one's opponents justifiably emotional.

Example: Luke didn't want to eat his sheep's brains with chopped liver and brussel sprouts, but his father told him to think about the poor, starving children in a third world country who weren't fortunate enough to have any food at all.

你试图通过操作别人的感情来取代一个有力的论述。

你操作的感情可能包括恐惧、嫉妒、怜悯、骄傲等等。一个逻辑严谨的论述可能激起别人的情感波动,但是如果只用感情操作而不用逻辑论述,那你就犯了诉诸感情的错误。每个心智健康的人都会受感情影响,所以这种谬误很有效,但这也是为什么这种谬误是低级和不诚实的手段。

例子:小红在饭店看到小明吃狗肉,于是上前训斥:“你怎么可以吃狗肉,小狗多么可爱,就像小朋友一样,你忍心伤害小朋友吗?” 小红犯了诉诸感情的谬误。
