Sometimes, we come to ask ourselves, "Why are most Filipinos poor?"; The answer often goes like, "Because they lack access to good education." But when we come to ask ourselves, "Why do they lack access to good education?", We'd answer, "Because they're poor". Isn't this a circular argument? Aren't circular arguments (or petitio principii in logical terminology) a logical fallacy? What then could be the real reason? Pinoy Tumblr.
