When doing philosophy, the ability to reason properly is a necessary skill. Logical fallacies are mistakes in reasoning. With bad reasoning come bad arguments. Sometimes, these mistakes are genuine and unintentional: merely a lack of awareness on the part of the speaker. At other times, however, these “mistakes” are very much intentional, for example when sophists argue their case.

Part of our training, as students of philosophy, is to learn how to spot fallacies. Why? First, so that when we’re making an argument we avoid such mistakes. Second, so that we are better prepared to sniff out fallacies in other people’s arguments.

what fallacy does this illustrate? either you love me or you hate me. It’s a fallacy of excluded middle!
