Abstract
This essay is a resource for those concerned with logical fallacies—false arguments that appear sound and true but aren't logically valid. It categorizes fallacies by how they mislead: faulty conclusions (hasty generalizations), false attributions (stereotyping), ambiguous language (circular reasoning, equivocation), emotional manipulation (personal attacks, appeals to popular opinion), false choices (black-and-white thinking), and structural errors (flawed if-then logic). The goal is helping people identify and avoid fallacies to pursue truth through clearer reasoning.
