Courses
Reasoning enables us to acquire knowledge, to persuade others and to evaluate their arguments. But only if we reason well. We shall be learning how to recognise, evaluate, construct and analyse arguments, and how to recognise common fallacies.
Should you be a moral person and concerned about others’ well-being, or is it okay to be selfish? Does being a moral person mean following moral principles? What tells you what actions are morally right: reason, emotions, intuitions or your society?
Discover the core principles of good reasoning and sharpen your ability to spot reliable soures of information. Strengthen your own rational thinking and learn how to analyse and evaluate others’ attempts to persuade.
