ad hominem
大约1600年,源自拉丁语,字面意思为“对于一个人”,由 ad “对于”(见 ad-)和 hominem, homo 的宾格,意为“人”(见 homunculus)组成。因此,“针对个人的利益和激情。”最初是对所述人已知的偏好或原则的论证或呼吁,而不是针对抽象的真理或逻辑。
Aristotle (Topics, viii 11) remarks that it is sometimes necessary to refute the disputant rather than his position, and some medieval logicians taught that refutation was of two kinds, solutio recta and solutio ad hominem, the latter being imperfect or fallacious refutation. [Century Dictionary]
亚里士多德(《论题》第八章第十一节)指出,有时需要反驳争辩者而不是他的立场,一些中世纪逻辑学家教导说,反驳有两种, solutio recta 和 solutio ad hominem,后者是不完美或谬误的反驳。[世纪词典]
