Discovering the Fallacies in Presenting a Tarnished Image of Revelation (An Educational Workshop)

Identifying and discovering the fallacies in a text is among the issues, whose theoretical teaching and definition seem to be very difficult and even impossible. The author holds that in such cases there is a need to make use of a practical method. This paper presents an approach to familiarizing the reader with the various kinds of fallacies and the way of finding them out. Because of the special interest of the debates on ‘’religious experience’’, specially for those who are interested in ‘’ philosophy of religion’’, the work of Abdolkarim Suroosh titled ‘’Kalam-e-Mohammad’’ (Mohammad’s words), has been selected as a subject of study and the discussion is divided into two parts. In the first part it is attempted to identify and expound the fallacies separately. In the second part, the fallacies contained in the whole text are presented in order to come up with a widespread evidence.
