Document Summary

Moore, r. parker), but 11th edition is fine as long as you know the difference between the two. Humans make the same mistakes in an argument for so long that the fallacies in arguments that the greeks have founded and named are still relevant today. Philosophy helps question and detect what makes a good argument and what the bad ones are. Dogmatism: the tendency to not care, hold beliefs for no reason and to not question beliefs. It is easier to point out a bad argument/what is false than proving truth. Bad arguments are often made on purpose and seems like a good argument at first. It is to not be controlled by society/acting independently or having the freedom to do so. You"re only free when you can and will decide for yourself. To be free is to find a way to step back on what is being told and to critically evaluate the information that is being given to you.
