The Philosophical Fallacy in Philosophy and Philosophy of Educology

The philosophical fallacy, as the fallacy of selectively emphasizing a specific trait in the conduct of the pattern of phases of reflective thinking, i.e. of inquiry, experiences producing knowledge claims as warranted assertions, is the fallacy in philosophy accounted for by John Dewey in his 1929 book—Experience and Nature.

The philosophical fallacy, as a fallacy in philosophy, is a much more general fallacy than the specific fallacies accounted for in typical inductive and deductive logic textbooks.  For an account of these specific fallacies, Click Here

Brief History of the Philosophical Fallacy in Philosophy

Following Dewey, from the perspective of The Institute, the philosophical fallacy, as the fallacy of selectively emphasizing a specific trait in the conduct of the pattern of phases of reflective thinking, i.e. of inquiry, experiences for producing knowledge claims as warranted assertions, is a fallacy in philosophy that Rationalist and Empiricist Philosophers committed during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, i.e. during the Copernican Revolution, creating the Modern Era of Science and Philosophy on earth, and, continuing during the 19th and 20th centuries into the 21st century, i.e. during the Darwinian and Einsteinian Revolutions, creating the Post-Modern Era of Science and Philosophy on earth.
 

As a matter of the history of philosophy, from The Institute’s perspective, the philosophical fallacy is a fallacy that the Idealist Philosopher (Plato) and the Realist Philosopher (Aristotle) and the Pre-Socratic Philosophers, and Socrates himself, all committed during the Ancient and Classic Eras of Science and Philosophy on earth, along with all Idealist, turned Rationalist, and Realist, turned Empiricist, Philosophers that followed.

  for a reference to APEIRON:
A Journal for Ancient Philosophy and Science, wherein, for the most part, the philosophical fallacy continues into the 21st century.

It was the construction of philosophy, by philosophers, throughout the ancient, classic, modern, and post-modern history of philosophy, committing the fallacy of selectively emphasizing a specific trait in the conduct of the pattern of phases of reflective thinking (of inquiry) experiences producing knowledge claims as warranted assertions, i.e. committing the philosophical fallacy, that Dewey, as a post-modernist philosopher, worked at reconstructing in, and by, his conduct of the pattern of phases of reflective thinking experiences, i.e. of inquiry experiences, producing knowledge claims as warranted assertions in philosophy, using what he referred to by the meaning the words ‘empirical method’ as a philosophic method of inquiry experiences for producing knowledge claims as warranted assertions that does not involve the philosophical fallacy.  This method of doing philosophy is accounted for in Chapter I, Experience and Philosophic Method, in Experience and Nature.
