About the course
Even though we’re called upon to use our critical and logical thinking skills all the time, most of us are not that good at it.
During this course you’ll learn how to:
- identify and avoid common thinking mistakes that lead to the formation of bad beliefs;
- recognise, reconstruct and evaluate arguments;
- use basic logical tools to analyse arguments;
- and apply those tools in areas including science, moral theories and law.
By the end of the course, you will have acquired the basic skills to assess arguments logically and critically, and so be in a better position to own the reasons for your beliefs.
