Scientic Attitude and Critical Thinking

Question: What is the scientific attitude and why is it important for critical thinking?

The scientific attitude is to be skeptical about claims and theories, but at the same time, it is also to be open-minded. Humility is also part of the scientific attitude, which means that if a person’s idea is proven wrong, he or she is ready to accept the fact. Critical thinking is about not accepting conclusions without having proofs and examining assumptions until there is evidence, which involves the scientific attitude in the making.
