常见逻辑谬误:appeal to nature/诉诸自然

appeal to nature

You argued that because something is 'natural' it is therefore valid, justified, inevitable, good or ideal.

Many 'natural' things are also considered 'good', and this can bias our thinking; but naturalness itself doesn't make something good or bad. For instance murder could be seen as very natural, but that doesn't mean it's good or justifiable.

Example: The medicine man rolled into town on his bandwagon offering various natural remedies, such as very special plain water. He said that it was only natural that people should be wary of 'artificial' medicines such as antibiotics.

你认为一个事物是“自然”的,所以它是合理、必然并且更好的。
一个事物是自然的并不一定代表它就更好。互相杀戮是大自然中普遍存在的现象,但是大多数人都认为我们不应该互相屠杀。

例子:小红认为吃草药肯定比吃人工制造的药有效,因为草药更加“自然”。小红犯了诉诸自然的谬误
