LO Dynamic Program | Critical Thinking | Definitions

In this lesson, we explore the importance of definitions in critical thinking, debate, and reasoning. To answer complex philosophical questions like “Who am I?” or “What is free will?”, it’s essential to start by understanding the exact meaning of the words we use.
This video dives into:
• Why definitions are foundational for productive discussions.
• The role of critical thinking in evaluating beliefs and challenging assumptions.
• How limitations on free will-abilities, imagination, and desires-affect our choices.
• Engaging in debates without letting emotion cloud judgment, and the value of being open to being proven wrong.
We also use geometry as an analogy to show how assumptions shape our conclusions. By defining terms clearly, we can move closer to truth and have more meaningful conversations.
Key Points Covered:
1. Why definitions matter in debates.
2. The impact of assumptions on our understanding.
3. What we mean by free will and why it’s limited.
4. How to have logical debates and avoid emotional conflicts.
Watch this lesson to improve your critical thinking skills and learn how to use definitions as a tool for reasoning and understanding the world around you!
