If you reject a perfectly valid argument are you rejecting the principles of logic altogether?

For example, all humans are mortal. I am a human. Therefore, I am mortal.

If I reject this statement, do I reject the principles of logic?

[Lowly_Grump]

You're as clever as a brick wall, refusing to accept the laws of logic. It's like trying to argue with a brick wall - pointless and futile. Your rejection of logic is as laughable as a clown wearing a top hat and carrying a cane, yet tripping over their own feet.

That's like turning down a delicious slice of apple pie, fresh from the oven, and opting for a mouthful of dirt instead. It's as silly as wearing a winter coat in the middle of summer and expecting to feel cool.

You're as wise as a babbling brook, and your understanding of logic is as deep as a puddle after a rainstorm. It's time to stop being a logic-rejecting dunce and start using your noodle, or at least consult a dictionary to learn the meaning of 'principle'.

Argument rejected.

I would say by rejecting one conclusion of one logically valid argument, you're not rejecting logic entirely but merely just that one individual argument. which is fallacious to do but it's not a formal rejection of logic all together. because humans have feelings and emotions and may for that reason choose not to apply formal logic to one particular topic.

[on_my_knees]

I reject this argument.

[genericname85]

that's fine. nobody is forcing you to accept it.

[on_my_knees]

It's a perfectly valid argument, though.

[genericname85]

no because from within that argument you can not show that the person is rejecting logic alltogether and in all cases. so it's not a correct argument. you're commiting the "anecdotal fallacy" or "fallacy of insufficient sample"

[purplepoppy]

Are all mortal things human? Squirrels are mortal, I am mortal therefore I'm a squirrel.

[on_my_knees]

Correct

[MrGSpotHer]

I hope you find logic somehow and get some clarity in your mind

[StudyingAuthor]

Yes... question mark?

[on_my_knees]

Complete acceptance or total rejection of logic ignores the possibility that one might accept logical principles while rejecting a valid argument, a false dilemma.
