Critical Thinking: Evaluating Arguments
Critical Thinking: Evaluating Arguments
When you’re practicing critical thinking, you have to eliminate assumptions. Part of eliminating assumptions is deconstructing arguments for or against a conclusion to discover whether they’re based on sound reasoning. You’d be surprised how often logical fallacies can be found at the root of seemingly solid arguments. Proper evaluation will help you determine which arguments are relevant and valid, which will provide you with the evidence you’ll carry forward to make a decision.
Objectives:
- What is an argument?
- Determine whether there is sufficient, valid support for the argument
- Ensure arguments are relevant to the problem
