circular reasoning fallacy
Circular reasoning fallacy, also known as begging the question, is a logical mistake when one's argument assumes the conclusion to be true without offering any external evidence or valid reasoning. In other words, it occurs when the premise and the conclusion of an argument are essentially the same, resulting in a circular and unconvincing line of reasoning.
