Cách sử dụng
The expression "beg the question" is often used in situations where someone's argument is based on a premise that is itself unproven, and therefore the argument is not valid. For example, if someone were to say, "I don't believe in ghosts because there's no scientific evidence for them," this would be a valid argument because it's based on an objective, measurable fact. However, if someone were to say, "I don't believe in ghosts because ghosts don't exist," they would be begging the question, because their premise (that ghosts don't exist) is the very thing they are trying to prove. In other words, they are assuming what they are trying to prove, and this is not a valid way to argue. So when you hear someone say "begging the question," it means they are pointing out a logical fallacy in someone's argument.
