Begging The Question Kelsey Turner and Chelsey White

Definition of Fallacy Begging the question is also known as circular reasoning. "Begging the question" is a form of logical fallacy in which a statement or claim is assumed to be true without evidence other than the statement or claim itself. When one begs the question, the initial assumption of a statement is treated as already proven without any logic to show why the statement is true in the first place.

Picture of Begging The Question

Universal Example John: "God must exist." Jane: "How do you know." John: "Because the Bible says so." Jane: "Why should I believe the Bible?" John: "Because the Bible was written by God."

Examples from The Crucible Act 1, Page 185: Rebecca: Goody Ann! You sent a child to conjure up the dead? Mrs Putnam: Let god blame me, not you, not you, Rebecca! I’ll not have judging me any more! Is it natural work to lose 7 children before they live a day? She says that her kids are dying because of a curse, but there is no way that this could possibly happen. So she is blaming something on another event without reasoning.

Example from The Crucible Act 3, page 207 Martha Corey: I am innocent to a witch. I know not what a witch is. Hathorne: How do you know, then, that you are not a witch? She claims she’s not a witch, but Hathorne wants to know how she knows she’s not a witch if she doesn’t know what a witch really is.
