What would be a fallacy where a thing is taken out of all contexts?
editPerson C is making a concept objectively true by claiming that context has no effect on it.
This reminds me of Analytic–synthetic distinction like person C is making a analytic truth of something that is synthetical.
Also a monad in Leibnitz's thinking: monadizing a concept by force.
Claiming something objectively true is claiming that it is context-free.Pasixxxx (talk) 07:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- "The fallacy you are describing, where a concept is taken out of all contexts and claimed to be objectively true without any consideration for context, could be considered a form of reductionism. Reductionism is the fallacy of oversimplifying complex phenomena by reducing them to a single, narrow explanation or perspective. In this case, reducing a concept to an objective truth without acknowledging the influence of context or nuance could be seen as a form of reductionism.
- Another term that could apply to this fallacy is absolutism. Absolutism is the belief that certain things are true in all circumstances and are not subject to change or variation. Claiming that a concept is objectively true and context-free could be seen as an absolutist stance, ignoring the potential for variability and nuance in different situations.
- Overall, the fallacy you describe involves oversimplifying and stripping away all contextual information from a concept in order to claim it as universally true, which can lead to misunderstandings and errors in reasoning."
