DQ 6-False Premises - Exercise #8



DQ 6-False Premises - Exercise #8

Post 5 of your passage analyses (1 old + 4 new) on your blogs by midnight tonight.. 

We'll discuss the various forms of false premises in day #2..

In Cotrell's (2005) list of the skills and attitudes involved in critical thinking as a process, she includes "being able to read between the lines, seeing behind surfaces, and identifying false or unfair assumptions" and "recognising techniques used to make certain positions more appealing than others such as false logic and persuasive devices" (p. 2).
