This module delves into the fascinating world of cognitive biases and logical fallacies that often derail our critical thinking. It explores how our brains, in an effort to conserve energy, can lead us astray with automatic thinking and confirmation bias. You'll discover the complexities of evaluating arguments, including the nuanced interplay between deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning. The module challenges traditional views on logical fallacies, introducing modern perspectives that emphasize the role of emotional and cognitive biases in flawed reasoning. Through engaging examples like the Wason Selection Test, you'll learn to identify and avoid common reasoning pitfalls. By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of how context, language, and psychology influence our ability to think critically, equipping you with tools to navigate the murky waters of real-world logic and argumentation.

Module 2 takes you on a fascinating journey through the social landscape of reasoning and critical thinking. It challenges the notion that logic is a purely individual pursuit, revealing how our ability to reason is deeply intertwined with our social interactions.

The module delves into the cultural nuances of logic, showing how different societies approach reasoning in unique ways. You'll gain insights into the types of curiosity that fuel critical thinking, and learn why embracing intellectual discomfort can lead to profound personal growth. From the boardroom to the laboratory, this module illuminates the complex interplay between shared values, context, and effective reasoning, offering a fresh perspective on how we can sharpen our critical thinking skills in an interconnected world.
