Subreption

Fraudulently or subreption from the Latin " subreptio " is a term of Roman law, which was considered in Europe as common law until the 19th century.

In today's law, the term is mainly obtained as fraudulent acquisition of services.

In the German philosophy of the 18th century the notion of an " error of the devious " (Latin vitium subreptionis ) played a significant role. Christian Wolff and Immanuel Kant warned not to confuse non-empirical and empirical conceptions, and thus to sneak the empirical origin of certain ideas.

In traditional logic is " devious " on the one hand the achievement of an incorrect result due to a correct conclusion, but false assumptions that may contain the desired result in unclear wording already. Secondly, it is a false conclusion in the syllogism in which the middle term in the major premise and minor premise is not identical ( Quaternio terminorum, quadrupling of the terms ).
