Critical Thinking and the arch of civilization
Discussion
The impact of advancing Critical Thinking on our larger culture
is not often reflected upon but there is substantial evidence that
as logic and reason are refined and promoted widely in a culture
human rights, equity, and social justice grow as well. Check
out this animated discussion on the topic:
Steven Pinker and Rebecca Goldstein: The long reach of reason
TED Talk
(Links to an external site.)
For your first post
deconstruct Rebecca Goldstein's argument ( list the premises,
evidence to support / refute them and her conclusion) and state
whether you agree or disagree with her conclusion and why.
Comment on 2 of your peers to help refine our overall analysis
or to provide further evidence or a new perspective on the
subject.
