第13章回顧了在思考的不同階段影響我們的錯(cuò)誤奕纫,其中mine-be-better“我的最好”是最基本的思維錯(cuò)誤匹层,并且成為其它錯(cuò)誤的都受其影響。其它錯(cuò)誤發(fā)生在不同的思考階段您访。
這些錯(cuò)誤會(huì)單獨(dú)存在,也會(huì)同時(shí)存在识虚。認(rèn)識(shí)這些錯(cuò)誤不難担锤,只要認(rèn)真閱讀即可,但是合上書本多糠,24個(gè)錯(cuò)誤你能一個(gè)不漏的說(shuō)出來(lái)嗎?不能。當(dāng)然也沒(méi)有必要背過(guò)怜俐。因此拍鲤,對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)赴精,重要的不是知道有幾種錯(cuò)誤,而是要知道錯(cuò)誤發(fā)生在推論過(guò)程中哪個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)谭确,為什么會(huì)發(fā)生錯(cuò)誤。
Knowing the right terminology is advantageous, but more important is recognizing where reasoning has gone awry and being able to explain the error in terms of the issue involved. In the vast majority of cases, plain language will do that job nicely.
歸根結(jié)底,批判性思維圍繞truth, opinion,statement, evidence, premise, assumption, argument, conclusion這些概念展開蚀腿, 錯(cuò)誤也和這幾個(gè)概念息息相關(guān)。
比如分析 Poverty of aspect的錯(cuò)誤,我們可以追溯到opinion的概念蚊伞,因?yàn)閭€(gè)人認(rèn)知的局限性等等原因氧枣, unwarranted assumptions同樣可以規(guī)到opinion認(rèn)知困難一類扎谎,等等胧奔。

Summary
In chapter 13, the author summarizes all errors which occur at various stages of the thinking process. “Mine-is-better” thinking is the most fundamental critical thinking error. The other errors in thinking are at least aggravated by “mine-is-better” thinking.
The part two section helps us to avoid the errors in our thinking and help us recognize them when they occur in other people’s thinking.
