Does anyone know at what point many colleges and universities gave up on teaching reasoning skills?

@hunkalove But did they at least learn critical thinking??

@okaybut I doubt it. That wasn't even taught when I was in college in the 1960s.

@hunkalove What is going on...it the core of my university instruction. Yikes!

@SW-User I would agree that a major aspect of logical thinking can be found in classical literature (and Philosophy). Good call.

@okaybut thanks! that's a part of what i do

@SW-User Cool. :)

@okaybut Sadly 75% of the teachers who have taken up this profession are here only for the stable income and pensions. Very few are passionate about it.
We were lucky to have had great teachers, isn't it? :)

@Vivaci Maybe that is why? Seeking the purity of knowledge is not a passion as much as it used to? For me there is nothing more beautiful. The greater your knowledge, hopefully the greater your connection with reality.

@okaybut Teaching is a noble profession. 🤗 Your students are so fortunate to have you as their teacher.
Every Plato needs a teacher like Socrates!

@akindheart So sorry...for me it was an amazing discovery of the power of reason that stayed with me my entire life.

@okaybut you are so lucky!
