critical writing怎么写

Critical essay writing的意义为批判性写作。广义的critical writing指的是运用批判性思维的技术和方法进行写作的一种写作方式。狭义的critical writing指的是一种评估性写作，根据批判性思维的一系列准则对给出的论证的可靠性进行评估，并写出分析评估报告。狭义的性写作又称分析性写作，属于类似写评估报告那样的应用文写作。

 

批判性阅读就是针对论证的主张，考问其理由的真实性或可信性以及推理的有效性，鉴别论证中可能存在的种种谬误，对你所读到或听到的信息做出积极主动的反应。批判性阅读是分析性写作的基础，反过来说，分析性写作就是撰写批判性阅读的读书报告。 

 

在critical writing中药注意使用宽容原则和中立原则。宽容原则用于对给出的论证的理解，指的是以合理性的最大限度来理解论证的原则。中立原则用于对给出的论证的评估，指的是以批判性准则来评估论证的原则。 

 

在critical writing中要分别从主张、理由和推理三个方面重温评估论证的准则，基于这些准则需要做出哪些批判性反应，以及检查在论证中可能会出现哪些谬误。
