Description
Examines the ""argumentum ad hominem"", the method of attacking a person's policies by attacking their character. Walton discusses how to analyze and evaluate cases of ""ad hominem"" arguments, and divides these into five subtypes: abusive; circumstantial; bias; ""poisoning the well""; and ""tu quoque"".
