Arguments by Philosophy

Has one ever noticed whether someone or oneself is making sense during the argument or in a discussion? Is there any better way to put the argument or to make it clear without any king of misunderstanding?

Of course, there is one – Critical Thinking.  We have centuries of philosophical concepts and ideas to ponder over.  HongKong University provides open and free course on Critical Thinking. I enjoyed revisiting these concepts, which I have come across from childhood and even have used many times in real life.

Critical Thinking mini-guide is neatly organized materials to start with.  The following are the important excerpts from the guide not to miss.

“Critical thinking is the ability to engage in reflective and independent
thinking, and being able to think clearly and rationally.”

“Critical thinking does not mean being argumentative or being critical of
others. Although critical thinking skills can be used in exposing fallacies
and bad reasoning, they can also be used to support other viewpoints, and
to cooperate with others in solving problems and acquiring knowledge.”
