Critical thinking

This topic shows you how to think critically, find hidden contexts and read between the lines

Logic should not be omitted

Good argument should not consist of any manipulations, ambiguity or mistakes. On contrary, it should be understandable and clear, without concealing any facts. A good argument should be logical. In case if both premises are right, we still won't be able to create right conclusion without logic.

Example:

(1) all humans are mammals
(2) Peter is human

(3) Peter is mammal

This argument is right

(1) all tigers are mammals
(2) Peter (human) is mammal

(3) Peter (human) is tiger

This argument is not right.

Although in both case premises are right, conclusion is not right. What is different from the first example? In logic. That all tigers are mammals and Peter is mammal, does not mean that he is a tiger. Without logic even the right formula is for nothing.
