On Critical Thinking As A Kind Of Applied Logic

Logic study is experiencing the “informal turn” in contemporary logic science,critical thinking is one of the main directions in this turn.The essence of critical thinking is “reasonable suspicion,reasonable confidence”,and it playing an important role not only in the quality education but giving full play to the logic social cultural functions.However,due to the “anti-logical concept” of critical thinking in the academic field,it leads to new concussion on the basic logical education.In this context,it is particularly important to clarify the relationship between critical thinking and logic.The relationship between critical thinking and logic has two views in logic circles:The “anti-logical concept” on the narrow logic perspective,and the “logical concept” on the generalized perspective.Based on the full reorganized of research status on critical thinking and logic relations at home and abroad,critically analyzed the application logic,pointed out that the application logic study aims to analyze the logical factors in the system,as well as logical factors and non logical factors interaction mechanism.Through historically,positively and negatively analyzed,this paper points out that critical thinking is the combination of skills and habits.In this paper,introduced the double perspective of“inference” and “reasoning”,Comparatively analyzed critical thinking and the “logic of science”,the critical thinking spirit and logic spirit,thus draw the conclusion that critical thinking is a kind of critical thinking as applied logic.This paper used the methods of literature research,historical analysis and comparative analysis,discussed the subject attribute of critical thinking,points out that critical thinking is a kind of critical thinking as applied logic.there is no essential difference between “anti-logical concept” and “logical concept”,which has just words usage of the dispute,however,the dispute is not meaningless words,it helps to clarify the positive relationship between critical thinking and logical teaching.
