Quaternio terminorum (2)

Author: admin
05 30th, 2009

Quaternio terminorum can result is endless confusion in daily relationships. If John is in debt to Peter to the tune of 45 dollars, and Peter is in debt to Paul (who saved him from drowning), John might be very surprised to find Paul on his doorstep demanding money with menaces. On the other hand, if John is in love with Mary, and Mary is in love with Paul, no one except a
theatre dramatist would attempt to complete the fallacious deduction.

The four-terms fallacy is more likely to appear as a source of genuine error than of deliberate deception. People may fool themselves with arguments constructed around it, but they are unlikely to fool others. There is something about the odd look of it which alerts the unwary; it is like a cheque without the amount filled in. No date perhaps; maybe even no signature; but everyone looks at the amount.

China is peaceful towards France, and France is peaceful towards the USA, so China must be peaceful towards the USA. (You do not even need to know anything about China to know this is wrong. Just remember not to trust any relationship with France in it.) One way to use the fallacy with a fair chance of success is to smuggle it in amongst a group of comparatives. Comparatives, such as ‘bigger than’, ‘better than’, ’stronger than’, or ‘fatter
than’, do work because they are transitive, despite the four terms. After a few of these, slip in the non-transitive relationship and it might get by.

Darling, I’m bigger than you are, stronger, and richer; yet I respect You stand in the same relationship to your mother, so I, in turn must respect your mother. (I just don’t want her in the house.)

MANY years ago I invented another simple experiment to help some of my students to gain that control of mind which is called concentration. This has proved itself, I think, to be the very best means to that end. Let me ask the reader or student now to try this experiment for himself in the following form—

Select a quiet place, where you can be undisturbed for about fifteen minutes. Sit down quietly and turn your thought to some simple and agreeable subject, such as a coin, a cup of tea, or a flower. Try to keep this object before the mind’s eye.

After a few minutes, if not sooner, you will, as it were, suddenly awake to the realization that you are thinking about something quite different. The reasons for this are two: the mind is restless, and it responds very readily to every slight disturbance from outside or in the body, so that
it leaves the subject of concentration and gives its attention to something else.

Now, the way which is usually recommended for the gaining of greater concentration of mind, so that one can keep one’s attention on one thing for a considerable time, is to sit down and repeatedly force the mind back to the original subject whenever it wanders away. That is not, however, the best way to attain concentration, but is, in fact, harmful rather than beneficial to the mind.

Wishful thinking

While many of us engage quite happily in wishful thinking, we elevate it to the status of a fallacy when we use it in place of argument. If we accept a contention because we would like it to be true, rather than because of the arguments or evidence which support it, we move into fallacy. Similarly, we also commit the fallacy of wishful thinking if we reject something solely because we do not wish it to be true.

Going to work in this awful weather would do no good for anyone. I think I’ll take the day off and stay in bed. (Everyone must have felt the force of this argument at some time.

Unfortunately, while there may be reasons for and against going into work, not wanting to is one which lacks persuasive force over everyone except ourselves.)

Our wishes rarely bear directly on the question of whether a thing is true or false. We commit a fallacy by intruding them into a discussion of the pros and cons. To suppose that the world is as we would want it to be is good solipsism but bad logic.

Of course the environment talks will succeed. Otherwise it means mankind
is on the way out. (The fact that we want them to succeed does not mean that they will. It could be that mankind is on the way out; in which case you might just as well be packing as hoping.)

Wishful thinking often appears to colour our judgement of outcomes we are unable to influence. He can’t die. We couldn’t manage without him.
(He did. They could.)

While you can use the general version of this fallacy to undermine any proposals you disapprove of, it will also repay you if you take the time and trouble to learn two specialist and very clever versions of it. The first of these calls for a particular Verecundiam, suggestion to be opposed because it does not go far enough. You show its imperfections, and suggest that something more drastic is needed. This idea, therefore, should be rejected.

/ approve in principle of the proposal to have the benefits allocated lot, rather than by my personal decision, but this will still leave many areas of patronage and influence untouched. I suggest that a much wider measure is needed, looking at the whole field, and therefore propose that we refer this suggestion back… (It was never seen again.)

The second variant you can use has you calling for something totally beyond the powers of those making the decision, and thus sets something they cannot do in opposition to something they can.

It’s all very well to suggest stiffer penalties for cheating, Headmaster, that will not eradicate the problem. What we need instead is to win these boys and girls, to effect a change in their hearts and minds… (The original proposal now exits amid a crescendo of violins.)
