Julio Huato: " And history is ad hominem or is not serious" I don't know what Julio means by "ad himinem," but the phrase is a technical term of logic and rhetoric and is a kind of logical fallacy. Here is an example of an ad hominem argument:
Jim Roe is a lying mother-fucker Jim Roe claims Lansing is the capital of Michigan Therefore Lansing is not the capital of Michigan. Julio, do you mean that to be a serious historianone has to ground his/her whole argument in that kind of logical idiocy?
