Chapter 5 How good are your opinions?

文中提到了生活中三种容易犯错误的人

Those who seldom reason at all, but think and act as those around them do-- parents, neighbors, the clergy, or anyone else they admire and respect.

Those who are determined to let passion rather than reason govern their lives.

Those who sincerely follow reason, but lack sound, overall good sense, and so do not look at all sides of an issue.

这三句话中都出现了一个词 reason, reason 做动词有推论论证和思考判断的意思,时常会犯错误的人很少会使用批判性思维进行独立地判断、推论和思考某一事物,。

其实生活中,每个人难免都会出错,也可能提出不靠谱不科学的观点,只要能直视自己的缺陷,然后不断地进步,因为experts can be  wrong .

其次我想谈的是有关道德问题上的观点。现实生活中总有人会站在道德的制高点上去评价或指摘某某事件的发生,但是他们自己是否是道德上的完美主义者还有待商榷。因此我们要严谨对待自己的观点,三思而后言后行。道德是一种主观层面上的东西,所以我们有关道德上的观点难免会带上个人色彩,但这并不妨碍我们用一种理性冷静的观点来分析、思考和表达。
