Authority Reasoning
means conclusions are derived wherein no evidence, facts or proofs are necessary, and wherein conclusions are said to be self-evident that conform to authority. For instance God is an authority needing no evidence. Science says, sometimes without any actual evidence such as progressive evolution. Authority Reasoning means that facts, evidence and premises are selected and disregarded, based upon prejudice toward conclusions already reached or held, and which must conform to an existing authority.
Authoritarianism is wherein, authority requires no explanation, no reasonable rational, no evidence, facts, demonstration or proofs. In this current day for two years the corporate media has claimed without any evidence whatsoever, that a sitting president colluded with a foreign government and stole an election. The media is the authority and since all major media is in agreement, it must be true. Authority Reasoning is in this case propaganda.
Authority Reasoning means that the conclusions of reasoning generally conform to
Authoritative Imperatives. These imperatives are pre-existent conclusions that take the form of principles, standard, ideals, values, rule, law or propositions. Authorities are things like the Theory of Evolution, Einstein, the expanding universe, democracy, movie and sports stars, God, Mohammad, Jesus, David or Buddha. But perhaps many of Einstein's theories have been proven to be correct. Thus there would be proper authorities and improper or false authority.
