Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

I would say 1) Claiming a cause when the cause is unknown is Argument from Ignorance and Jumping to Conclusions . 2) then blaming on things one disapproves of is a form of Shoehorning 3) then recommend a "virtuous" course of action is just an opinion. |

What's it call (sic) when people blame things (on things) they don't understand...? Promiscuous teleology, or, hyper active agency detection. What's it call (sic) when people blame things they don't understand on things they don't approve of...? Superstition, selective moral superiority, or religious judgmentalism. What's it call (sic) when people blame things they don't understand on things they don't approve of and then recommend a "virtuous" course of action? Theodicy. |
