The Four Pillars of Inquiry
The CFIC is a national non-profit dedicated to promoting critical thinking. Our motto, “We don’t tell you what to think. We teach you how to think,” is reflective of this principle — that we should be teaching people how to reach rational, evidence-based decisions on their own, rather than because someone else told them to. There are four pillars to this:
Understand yourself. Recognize your biases, assumptions, emotions, and limitations.
Examine claims critically. Identify faulty reasoning, logical fallacies, and unsupported assumptions.
Evaluate the evidence. Distinguish strong from weak, reliable from unreliable, facts from opinions.
Remain willing to revise your conclusions. Follow the evidence wherever it leads, even when it challenges your beliefs.
