Circular Logic = Begging the Question

Premises = a basis, stated or assumed, on which reasoning proceeds

In contemporary usage, “begging the question” often refers to an argument where the premises are as questionable as the conclusion.

In logic, begging the question has traditionally described a type of logical fallacy

A fallacy is a component of an argument which, being demonstrably flawed in its logic or form, renders the argument invalid in whole.
