Cultivating critical thinking skills

My name is Luke Zaphir and I am a professional philosopher and teacher.

I teach people how to think more effectively – whether it is improving the quality of decision-making, building critical thinking skills, or developing media literacy in an era of fake news.

Effective thinking in schools

I design and teach programs that develop students ability to think and communicate. In critical thinking, students learn how to deliberate and argue – with integrity.

Media literacy is one of the most immediate educational deficits we have. Fake news, disinformation, cyber-bullying, and online echo chambers are increasingly common and a persistent danger to Australians.

 

Gonzo Philosophy

My YouTube channel is an experimental project where I look at video games and examine their content using philosophical concepts. It’s still developing but can provide a starting point for philosophical inquiry.
