The article analyzes the approaches of scholars to defining the concept of critical thinking, and researches logic it is based on. The correlation of such concepts as critical thinking and argumentation is identified.
In the era of rapid development of the information society, the latest information and communication technologies, the role of information in human life is constantly growing. Its number and diversity are quite significant, and therefore today the issue of developing critical thinking for identifying and obtaining reliable information is relevant. A significant place in this process is occupied by the rules of logic, using which you can easily establish the truth or falsity of a particular information. Despite the multiplicity of principles of logic, techniques and theories, which is the result of research by many experts-scientists in this field, for military analysts, first of all, it is necessary to note argumentation – the process of justifying a certain position (statement, hypothesis, concept) by a person to convince its truth, expediency, which is the basis of critical thinking. It should be added that the ability to recognize propaganda and analyze false grounds in argumentation will help a military analyst not to become a victim of false information.
