Before you answer the questions click here and read the text please.
Sokrates is a universal philosopher.He is considered as one of the first critical thinkers because he is questioning everything without limitation.The ideas of Sokrates showed us the barriers of people's thinking.Independence of thought was very important for him .For this reason,some people refused these ideas. I criticize everything.Without criticizing life is nothing.
ReplyDeleteHe can be the father of critical thinking.He questioned everything.When he asked questions,people started to think.When people looked at something in other perspective they scared,stepped back and said him that he made them unhappy.This could be all about fear.
ReplyDeleteEighty percent of people say they are critical thinkers,they are questioning everything and something like that.We have to make tests etc. so then we can see ourself in the result.For me,i can see some different things and i trust my senses.I don't know am i critical thinker but important thing is being mature :)
Critical thinking begins with Socrates. His ideas are so rational. We don't sure about his life but his ideas are interesting. His thinking methods were different from the other wise men. For example, he teached by asking questions. If someone didn't know about geometry or maths, he could solve a problem to him/her by asking some questions. His questions were useful to learn about life.
ReplyDeleteQuestioning life is better than living an unaware person. I'm also triying to questioning life but I think it will be done by times..
