Re: Confidence in reason
What does it mean to have no confidence in reason? “Confidence in reason is based on the belief that one’s own higher interests and those of humankind will be best served by giving free play to reason…The very idea of reasonability becomes one of the most important values and a focal point in one’s life. In short, to have confidence in reason is to use good reasoning as the fundamental criterion by which to judge whether to accept or reject any belief or position.” “Critical Thinking” Paul and Elder. A person who lacks confidence n reason might place their trust in: 1) Charismatic leaders 2) Institutional leaders 3) Corporate leaders 4) Spiritual leaders 5) Social leaders 6) Political ideologies 7) Gut feeling 8) Fate 9) Astrology 10) In all the ideas of our parents |
