The Ethical Practice of Critical Thinking - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Fowler (Elon U.) maintains that the essence of critical thinking must be the result of interaction between two or more people and not the result of individual thought processes. In this guide for philosophy-minded general audiences, he stresses the need for meaningful discussion to sustain the workplace and society, and proposes that arguments must not only be ethical, they must also respect intelligence, humanity and the critical thinking abilities of others. The author also explains how to avoid the most common fallacies during heated discussions, such as ad hominem, begging the question and the "Sunburn Fallacy."
