The Role of Philosophy of Science in Cultivating a Critical Attitude towards Free Opinion in the Modern Era
Abstract
In an era of technological advancements that have a profound and diverse impact, we must be able to sort and think critically. However, many of us have lost the ability to think critically and reflectively, even though in this era, what we must use is our own way of thinking and how we sort through available information. Because not all information we receive is true and accurate, critical and reflective thinking is necessary to distinguish between truthful information and hoaxes. In this context, the philosophy of science plays a crucial role in shaping systematic scientific thinking. Philosophy is a science whose truth is rational and logical. Furthermore, we must apply critical information evaluation to prevent us from carelessly spreading news that is not necessarily true. Every news or information obtained must be sorted and tested before being disseminated.
