Можем ли да се научим да мислим правилно? Коментар върху „наръчник за критическо мислене“ (2024) на Росен Люцканов
Can We Learn How to Think Right? A Commentary on “Handbook of Critical Thinking” (2024) by Rosen Lutskanov

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to answer the question: „If to think rationally is to think right, then can we learn how to think rationally?“. I attempt to find an answer by providing a commentary on Rosen Lukyanov’s recent book – „A Handbook of Critical Thinking“ (2024). My central claim is that Lukyanov’s exposition clearly shows that thinking right is a matter of skill which can be exercised, educated, and expertized (EEE) and that it is subjected to rigorous logical rules, epistemic norms and pragmatic norms. In my analysis, I will presume that Lukyanov’s understanding of critical thinking allows us to use the conceptual apparatus of social epistemology and to examine critical thinking as closely related to peer disagreement. At the end of my paper, I propose some critical comments on the examined concept of critical thinking that concern the role of perceptual knowledge, the right order of reasons in an argument, and the wisdom of crowds.
