Circular Reasoning Joshua Meador, Rilee Mathews, and Rebekah Thompson

Definition Circular reasoning is an attempt to support a statement by simply repeating the statement in different or stronger terms

Universal Example Mr. A. "Do you believe in God?" Mr. B. "Yes." Mr. A. "Why do you believe in God?" Mr. B. “Because it is written in the Bible.” Mr. A. "Why do you believe the Bible?" Mr. B. "Because the Bible is the word of God." Mr. B believes in God because he believes what is written in the Bible. He believes the Bible because it was written by God. This is circular reasoning because he believes in God because God wrote the Bible. He is just restating what he said earlier.

Circular Reasoning Cartoon This cartoon demonstrates circular reasoning because it is showing that the reason to believe in The Bible is The Bible.

Circular Reasoning in The Crucible Act II, pg. 200 Hale: But, woman, you do believe there are witches in- Elizabeth: If you think that I am one, then I say there are none. Elizabeth is saying that since they think she is a witch when she knows that she isn’t, there aren’t any witches in Salem.

Act III, pg. 207 Martha Corey’s Voice: I am innocent to a witch. I know not what a witch is. Hathorne’s Voice: How do you know, then, you are not a witch? Martha Corey’s Voice: If I were, I would know it. Martha Corey is saying that she isn’t a witch because she doesn’t know what a witch is. And she also says if she were a witch, she would know. But if she didn’t know what a witch was, she wouldn’t know if she was a witch.
