These are the best of the available web resources:
The Fallacy Files
by Gary Curtiss
An excellent resource which includes a list of the different kinds of
fallacies with descriptions, as well as a taxonomy of the fallacies and a
large collection of examples.
Stephen's Guide to the Logical Fallacies, by Stephen Downes.
Perhaps the original website devoted to fallacies. 'Logical fallacies are
errors of reasoning, errors which may be recognized and corrected by prudent
thinkers. This site indexes and describes all known logical fallacies'.
Bruce Thompson's Fallacy Page
One for the serious fallacy
aficionado. Really a mini-textbook; contains general theoretical
discussion, as well as a classification, discussion of individual fallacies,
and exercises. Probably the most "in depth" treatment available on the web,
though in some ways it takes a somewhat distinctive approach.
This material has been developed independently of the International Baccalaureate, which in no way endorses it.
