The cognitive application of freethought is known as freethinking, and practitioners of freethought are known as freethinkers. Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logical principles and not be compromised by authority, tradition, or any other dogma.
Freethought holds that individuals should
neither accept nor reject ideas proposed as truth without recourse to knowledge
and reason. Thus, freethinkers strive to build their beliefs on the basis of
facts, scientific inquiry, and logical principles, independent of any
factual/logical fallacies or intellectually-limiting effects of authority,
cognitive bias, conventional wisdom, popular culture, prejudice, sectarianism,
tradition, urban legend, and all other dogmatic or otherwise fallacious
principles.
Since many laws, doctrines, and popular beliefs
are based on dogmas, freethinkers' opinions are often at odds with
commonly-established views.
