Abstract

This article investigates connections between critical thinking and moral virtues. Critical thinking, demonstrating the sound principles of arguments, can bring order and clarity to our mind and intensify our critical power. Furtheremore, it can be efficient in creating honesty and improving our relations with each other. In this manner, being logical is related to many virtues such as fairness, honesty and truthfulness, while fallacious reasoning- if intentional – arises from dishonesty and – if unintentional – shows the immaturity of mind. Then, our issue is connected with the morality; we do not like to be blind through the dusts of fallacies, hence we should not do that to others. This article explains that on the one hand, a critical thinker is a virtuous man and on the other hand, moral virtues guide us to critical thinking.
