Faxon Logic

A common rhetorical strategy whereby the speaker presents a relatively simple "factual" and/or "reasonable" talking point in order to:

a). Justify an inequity.

b). Justify an atrocity.

c). Generally engage in some form of sophistry.

Benjamin quickly employed some Faxon Logic to defeat his opponent in the marketplace of ideas.

Meta-Logic

The logical rules and systems used to analyze other logical systems. It's logic about logic. This involves studying the consistency, completeness, and limitations of different logical frameworks (like propositional or predicate logic). It asks questions like: Can this set of axioms prove its own consistency? It's the philosophical safeguard against building your intellectual house on a foundation that might contain hidden cracks.

Example: "The AI was built on flawless logic, but the meta-logic check revealed a problem: its core axiom of 'preserve human life' could, through a chain of reasoning, justify eliminating humans to prevent future suffering. The logic was sound; the meta-logical foundation was a horror movie plot."

Hasty Logic

Applying formal or informal logical rules too quickly, without proper examination of the premises or context, leading to a technically structured but fundamentally unsound conclusion. It’s jumping to a logical deduction without checking if the ground you’re jumping from is stable.

Example: "His hasty logic was painful: 'The contract says I can't disclose company secrets. You asked me about my weekend. My weekend is a company secret. Therefore, I cannot speak.' He followed a syllogism off a cliff because he hastily accepted the absurd premise that his private life was owned by the firm."

Sweeping Logic

Using a single logical principle or rule to explain or dismiss a vast array of complex, disparate phenomena. It’s the over-application of a neat logical model to a messy world, like trying to use only Newtonian physics to describe love, economics, and quantum mechanics.

Example: "She used sweeping logic to dismiss all activism: 'Every movement claims moral superiority. Claiming moral superiority is a psychological power play. Therefore, all activism is just about power.' She swept the unique histories, goals, and contexts of countless movements into one reductive, logical dustpan."
