The term Prakaranasama is used to describe this situation, where the reasoning leads to an apparent contradiction or inconsistency in the argument itself.
Information Booster:
Prakaranasama occurs when arguments are framed in a way that make the reasoning similar in contradictory contexts, leading to confusion.
Satpratipaksa Hetvabhāsa is a type of fallacious reasoning, where the logic itself is flawed due to inconsistencies in the arguments.
In Prakaranasama, reasoning appears valid in different contexts but is in fact misleading or contradictory in one or more situations.
Viruddha specifically targets contradictions within arguments, but Prakaranasama focuses on the uniformity of reasoning that can lead to erroneous conclusions.
Recognizing Prakaranasama is important to understand when reasoning in an argument seems logically sound but is ultimately incorrect due to its flawed structure.
