Can we learn to think better? I hope so. Children quickly pick up reasoning skills and catch out adults using inconsistent arguments or making a special case for themselves without warrant. They instantly see through ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ and other self-serving rationalisations. Motivated adults can build on this foundation and refine and extend these skills, though it would be naive to think that studying critical thinking immunises us from logical error and skewed thinking.
