PETITIO PRINCIPII, or BEGGING TIIE QUESTION (Gr. To v apxjj )

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 308 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PETITIO PRINCIPII, or BEGGING TIIE QUESTION (Gr. To v apxjj ) .a mj3h ttv, Toe apxfjs aireioOat), in
logic
 , the
fourth
  of
Aristotle
 's fallacies g re r s X swc or extra dictionem. Strictly this
fallacy
  belongs to the
language
  of disputation, when the questioner seeks (
petit
 ) to get his adversary to admit the very
matter
  in question. Hence the word principium gives a wrong impression, for the
fallacy
  consists not in seeking for the
admission
  of a principle which will confute the particular propositiona perfectly legitimate
form
  of refutationbut in luring the adversary into confessing the contradictory. In the
ordinary
  use, however, " begging the question " consists in assuming in the premises the conclusion which it is desired to prove.
