Critical thinking

[e_mir]

I’ve read several books about critical thinking and skepticism (this one is my favorite). And I’m still amazed by lack of information about this topic in Russian-speaking world. For example:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence

2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking_(fallacy)

These Wikipedia entries describe very important and crucial terms of critical thinking discourse – and they haven’t Russian counterparts. Physics, Maths, Chemistry terms – are all well-established and described in Russian Wikipedia. And I’m afraid this is much bigger problem than just lack of terminology. I believe there is a serious problem with critical/skeptical thinking itself.
