Os alunos serão mais persuasivos na redação de ensaios argumentativos, debates, apresentações orais e até mesmo na compreensão de ideias filosóficas. Você, o aluno, também estará mais bem armado para distinguir a verdade de “fatos alternativos” e “notícias falsas”, e para compreender e refutar atitudes negacionistas.
O principal objetivo deste curso é torná-lo capaz de reconhecer e refutar comportamentos irracionais e falácias (erros de raciocínio), bem como aprimorar seus próprios argumentos.
