How Rhetoric Shapes Your Opinions
The Michael Shermer Show
Questioning Dogmas and Embracing Critical Thinking
The author wrote the book to explore the shift in their thinking from dogmatism to critical thinking, questioning new information and ideas rather than blindly accepting truths. They learned from the rhetorical tradition, aiming not to replace one set of dogmas with another but to encourage questioning and openness in thought. The author criticizes the current trend of polarization based on dogmatic beliefs, highlighting the need to address real social and political issues with open-mindedness and collective effort for the well-being of society.
