Six Vintage-Inspired Animations on Critical Thinking

One of my favourite topics- Critical Thinking – not made explicit enough in most skills training programmes –  and this article on brainpickings is just incredible! Way to go Maria Popova. Go and see for yourself.

A field guide to the art and science of the solid argument.

“The animations — which are part Minute Physics, part The Dot and the Line, part60-Second Adventures in Thought — are released under a Creative Commons license and cover the basics of logic and the scientific method, as well as specificpsychological pitfalls like confirmation bias and Gambler’s Fallacy.”
