Formal fallacies
Formal fallacies are also known as logical fallacies.
These mistakes arise through the violation of the logical rules, which govern correct arguments.
They occur when we misapply a valid rule of inference as they contravene the formal structure of a valid argument.
They are invalid deductive arguments resulting from bad deductive reasoning.
They can, therefore, be identified by a mere inspection of the
argument form.
Informal fallacies
Unlike the formal fallacies, the informal mistakes do not relate to the form of the argument in which they occur.
They are identified through an analysis of the content of an argument
