लोकप्रियता कुतर्क

लोकप्रियता कुतर्क (लातिनी: argumentum ad populum, आर्ग्युमॅन्टम ऐड पॉप्युलम; अंग्रेज़ी: populist fallacy या appeal to the masses), जिसे कभी-कभी गणतांत्रिक कुतर्क (democratic fallacy) भी कहते हैं, तर्कशास्त्र में ऐसे मिथ्या तर्क (ग़लत तर्क) को कहते हैं जिसमें किसी दावे को इस आधार पर सच ठहराया जाने का प्रयास जो कि उसे बहुत या अधिकतर लोग मानते हैं।^[1]

उदाहरण

"देश के अधिकतर लोग गाँवों में बसते हैं - इसलिए देश में विकास के लिए क्या चाहिए, यह सबसे अधिक गांववाले जानते हैं।"^[2]
"देश के अधिकतर लोग अश्वेत लोगों को श्वेत लोगों से हीन और स्त्रियों को पुरुषों से कम मानते हैं - इसलिए यही सच होगा क्योंकि अकारण ही इतने सारे लोग ऐसी बातें नहीं मानते'।^[1]
