Open Minds and Everyday Reasoning

By Zachary P. Seech

From Seechs Preface: What is our objective in these courses on reasoning skills? Is it to develop fast talkers who can speak persuasively for or against their own bias while their actual beliefs are unaffected? Or is our objective to develop reflective, open-minded people who listen to other points of view and will be willing to find weaknesses in their own arguments and strengths in the arguments of opponents?Zachary Seech successfully teaches the necessary technical skills of analysis for a basic reasoning course, and in the process empowers students to expand their educational horizons in important ways.
