Fallacy Files: Begging the Question

Curated by ACT

Discusses the error in logic behind the fallacy of Begging the Question (also known as Circular Argument, Circular Reasoning, Circulus in Probando, Petitio Principii, or Vicious Circle). Although a great deal of information about the fallacy is given, it is written at a fairly high reading level. Older students would definitely get more out of it.
