This is the first episode dedicated to examining logical mistakes. This episode looks at the “informal fallacy” of “unwarranted generalization and stereotyping”–one of the most common examples of logical mistakes in political rhetoric.

EPISODE 4. LOGICAL FALLACY: UNWARRANTED GENERALIZATION AND STEREOTYPING

This is a series of podcasts by Professor Thomas White about the practical usefulness of philosophy--philosophy for the real world. We live in a culture that bombards us with messages about what we should buy, value, believe, and how to vote. But how do we decide what's going to advance our interests--rather than the interests of the people trying to persuade us? Each podcast applies philosophical tools that will help you clearly understand a critical issue before taking any action. The goal of these podcasts is primarily practical—to show you how applying philosophical tools can put you in a position where you have maximum control over your decisions.
