Example of the Hypostasis Fallacy

In logic, a fallacy is the fact of making a totally invalid reasoning without taking into account the truth of the premises or conclusion, what makes an argument is considered a fallacy is that the process is not valid. For example, if we have as arguments that the buildings are tall and that Juan is tall, it is therefore concluded that Juan is a building. The above is a fallacy because the reasoning process is not correct.

In common language, a lie or deception that is carried out with the desire to affect a person is considered a fallacy.

The word hypostasis is widely used in the Christian religion to refer to the Divine Trinity. The Hypostasis Fallacy It is considered as obtaining a conclusion regarding a being that does not correspond to a correct reasoning about its essence and substance, but that it is accepted as true regardless of the invalidity of the reasoning.

A Hypostasis Fallacy can be found in a text where the author tries to deceive or create a falsehood using reasoning that might seem valid but that change the essence of the writing in a way that the reader cannot perceive it.

Example of the Hypostasis Fallacy:

Politicians are people who have a vocation for services and who must use all the resources that are at their disposal so that they can serve the people of their community.

Entrepreneurs are people who seek personal benefit through the products and services they offer to their community.

Deputy López is not a good politician because as one of the most important businessmen in the city, his interest is not service to the community, but his own benefit.

In the previous text, the Hypostasis of Politician is used as an individual who seeks to serve his community and that of the Entrepreneur as an individual who seeks his own benefit, making them exclusive and thus emitting the message that an entrepreneur cannot be political and vice versa, which is not It is in a valid line of reasoning, since an entrepreneur can be a magnificent politician, without there being a conflict of interest between the two activities.
