The fallacy of composition arises when the inference of an argument depends on the erroneous transference of an attribute of the parts of something to the whole.[1] This is the opposite of the fallacy of division.[2]

Examples
- "Richard likes sardines. He also likes toffee pudding. Therefore, it is quite sure that he would like a toffee pudding topped with sardines."
- The frequent accusation that design theorists reduce life to mechanism, commits a fallacy of composition, arguing incorrectly that what is true of the parts must be true of the whole since just the fact the cells have machine-like aspects does not imply that they are machines.[3]
Formal example
Formally speaking this fallacy has the following structure:
- p is part of w
- p has property t
- therefore, w has property t
