3.00 Credits
A course that focuses on key skills involved in critical thinking: recognizing and evaluating arguments, assumptions, implications, definitions, analogies, generalizations, predictions and value claims; testing deductive arguments for validity and soundness, and inductive arguments for strength and weakness; applying critical thinking skills learned in the first sections of the course to different real-life contexts (e.g., moral reasoning, legal reasoning, scientific reasoning, aesthetic reasoning, narrative and rhetorical reasoning). This focus on key critical thinking skills also involves the discussion of a variety of other topics: the nature of arguments; testing (deductive) arguments for validity and for "fallacies"; problem solving (conceived as theinterplay of a host of critical thinking skills and attitudes); , the interplay between critical and creative thinking; and the identification and evaluation of arguments as they occur in both everyday and philosophical contexts. Through exercises, problem-sets, short essays, and internet discussions, the overall aim is to improve students' reasoning and argumentative writing skills. No prerequisite. Offered 2008-2009. (4 credits)
