1. a fallacy of reasoning in which what is to be proved is assumed to be true in the premise; begging the question.
2. a fallacy of reasoning arising from the assumption of a premise which no opponent will admit to be true. Example: Since all students are of the same faith, therefore religion ought to be taught in the public schools. This begs the question as to whether all students are, in fact, of the same faith.
