Fallacies

Conclusion
Ch. 4. Relevance Cause

2

Add any board men of merit on the part of men cing of
no merit.

5.
3. Irritability —
Sympathy and
antipathy are more
strongly excited by the
idea of determinate
individuals than by
do of indeterminate
do: and by do of smaller
groupes than of larger
ones. Presented by
relevant arguments
persons are presented
in the largest and
most indeterminate
groupes, commonly
the whole community:
by those irrelevant
ones in smaller
groupes and more
determinate: and in
the case of the proposer
and supporters of the
obnoxious measure,
individually.

3. Relevant arguments being drawn in some most instances
if from the consideration of persons, from the consideration of
persons taken in large and miscellaneously composed
groupes, but also frequently not from the consideration of
persons even thus vaguely designated, but from the mere
nature of things, take comparatively speaking no hold
upon the passions. Personalities, the particular class of
fallacies here in question operate upon the passions with
a peculiar degree of force. They present frequently most commonly to
sympathy an object of that pleasing emotion affection: they present
constantly an object to the opposite and though
less pleasing yet not the less strong and interesting object
affection of antipathy. They present in the present case
in the persons of those who in an unpleasant way would be principally affected by the reforming
measure, persons to objects to be attached to, to regard with
affection, to defend, and to protect and to whose defence and
protection the meanest individual may flatter himself with
the hope of being in some way or other contributory in the
persons of those the supporters of the supposed pernicious measure,
fit objects of aversion and disesteem: of aversion
capable of rising to hatred hatred, of disesteem capable of swelling
into contempt
