Explanation
This group covers words related to thinking, arguing, judging, and forming opinions. It includes terms for clear thinking (like rational and deduce), flawed logic (fallacious and sophistry), and different kinds of beliefs or principles (axiom, dogmatic, and heterodox). The core idea is about how we process information and the various ways our reasoning can be sound, biased, or mistaken.
