Overview

There can be no absolute truth. There are only mistakes first, Bachelard added. Error is present everywhere, and it is human. Since the beginnings of philosophy in Greece BC, philosophers have worked to explain why human thinking is frequently flawed, why we make mistakes, and how to avoid making mistakes in the future. They were all attempting to formalize the right ways of thinking. With some success. Psychologists have taken control of our own backyard. Their exploration of the depths of human reasoning led them to propose the role of rules of mind other than logic: intuitive, unconscious, fast rules known as heuristics. Despite being important, these mental shortcuts might lead to short circuits. The culprit is thus referred to as cognitive bias. Every day, reasonable people make mistakes because it is irrational to spend one's days trying not to make mistakes. Rather, the correct attitude is to be conscious of the inherent biases - it is impossible to think without a point of view - while avoiding overly polluting prejudices.
