非論理的(ひろんりてき)

ひろんりてき
na-adjective
illogical; not logical
1. illogical; lacking logical coherence
Describes reasoning, arguments, statements, or actions that do not follow logical principles. Typically used negatively to criticize reasoning that is inconsistent, unreasoned, or based on emotion rather than analysis. The direct antonym is 論理的(ろんりてき) ('logical').

An illogical argument.

Formed with the negating prefix 非(ひ) ('non-; un-') attached to 論理的(ろんりてき) ('logical'). The prefix 非〜(ひ) is productive: 非公式(ひこうしき) ('unofficial'), 非常識(ひじょうしき) ('unreasonable; outrageous'), 非科学的(ひかがくてき) ('unscientific').
