Dilemma
(Redirected from Dilemmas)
A dilemma is a problem offering two solutions, neither of which is acceptable. The two options are often described as the horns of a dilemma, neither of which is comfortable.
The dilemma is sometimes used as a rhetorical device, in the form 'you must accept either A, or B'; here A and B would be propositions each leading to some further conclusion. Applied in this way, it may be a fallacy.
