Academic Critical Thinking
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I studied your course “Critical Thinking,” after studying the Open University course “Introduction to Logic.”
I wanted to ask whether you know of an academic track that deals with these issues. I assume that a degree in philosophy includes these matters, but it also includes other areas such as epistemology, ethics, etc., which interest me less.
I would like to continue advancing only in the topics I mentioned. Do you know of such a track?
Answer
I don’t know of one. I don’t think there’s a specific specialization in this. In the U.S. people study rhetoric, which is already getting closer to that.
