50. Critical Inquiry, Skepticism, Human Beliefs (Book Notes: Affirmations)
    skeptical inquiry is essential for the development of human knowledge. It represents a historic tradition in science, philosophy, and learning.

    Extractions: FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! The great advances which science has achieved are attributable, in large part, to science's very effective methodology. The scientific approach to learning and understanding was developed by trial and error over centuries of work; shouldn't other areas of human endeavor apply some of these lessons for solving problems? In Affirmations: Joyful And Creative Exuberance , Paul Kurtz writes: The methods of critical inquiry used so effectively in science need to be extended to all areas of human interest. Beliefs should be treated as hypotheses and be tested by evidence, logical coherence, and experimental consequences. All claims to knowledge should be open to revision in the light of inquiry. As a result, there is a progressive growth of human knowledge.

54. The New Skepticism By Paul Kurtz : Booksamillion.com (0879757663, Hardcover)
    An outgrowth of pragmatism, skeptical inquiry differs from earlier forms of skepticism, Kurtz argues, because its motivation is inquiry rather than doubt.

    Extractions: The meaning of Skepticism Last updated 03/18/07. Published on: January 1, 1998 Skepticism is a multi-valued term, with meanings ranging from assorted schools of philosophy to (very simply) disbelief. It's a significant, large philosophical issue that cannot be well organized into a short essay. But I'll essay an introduction.... The principle of skepticism is to require revellation of the root reasons for believing an idea. Most ideas are presented in finished form: this is a very efficient form for transmission. But ideas are abundant and conflict, human brains can only cope with a small total number, and we have a practical interest in adopting only the best ideas. Skepticism is one of the approaches for coping with this problem of cognitive dissonance, conflicting ideas. There are many other systems for choosing between ideas. Deference to authority, tradition, commonsense, spirituality, prejudices, etc. Skepticism's virtue is that it attempts to apply rationality to systematically get to the bottom of ideas in the great objective: the quest for reliable knowledge . All these systems, including skepticism, use rationality to some degree, and are prone to some degree of inconsistancy and failure. So judgements that skepticism (for example) is best, are at best quantitative.

    Extractions: Science - Science in Society - Skeptical Inquiry - Cold Reading Cold reading is a set of techniques used by mentalists to extract information from a subject then feeding the information back to them as if the reader had special abilities. Sometimes the term is used loosely to include warm reading. In warm reading, a mentalist will tell a subject things which would be true of almost anyone, or which almost anyone would like to believe about themselves. (ex. You have unused potential.)

I think this search....goes with a courageous intent to greet the universe as it really is, not to foist our emotional predisposition on it but to courageuosly accept what our explorations tell us." CARL SAGAN View my complete profile O ne of the major burdens for the skeptical mind is to remain vigilant against the ever looming shadow of biased tendencies and selective beliefs carried in some form and degree by all humanity. These are powerful and natural urges tempting one to create a form of pseudo-intellectual comfort zone or world view that provides a foundation for irrational positions and unfounded beliefs.
