ANSWER 3:

I think the role of critical thinkers is restricted in Pakistani culture but they are allowed to do
critical thinking in Pakistan with limited extent because they don’t have freedom to question
about everything and they can’t be act as skeptic person in Pakistani culture.
No, in my point of view they don’t have enough freedom to interpret norms and values of
culture, religion, language, and society philosophically because
1. ARGUMENT:
2. Religious beliefs defy logic and seems unreasonable while philosophers look for rational
explications and justification for belief.
3. Philosophers examine, indeed they look for, all assumptions and supposition of any
system of thoughts or belief.
4. For philosophers there are no ideas to be accepted on faith.
5. Whereas Pakistan was founded on the name of Islam and Islam is practiced mostly by
people of Pakistan. Therefore Philosophers don’t have freedom to think critically with
respect to religion.
In Pakistan, culture is set where national holidays and Muslim festivals are celebrated in which
no one has right to ask the questions why these celebrations are occurring etc. because these are
the features of Pakistani culture.
ARGUMENTS:
Predefined culture
Philosophers critically questions and confront established beliefs, customs, practices, and
institutions of a society.
Whereas philosophy of Pakistani culture is predefined and its culture provide itself with the
justification for its values and beliefs.
Philosophers have freedom to the limited extent in the society; they can ask questions about
social behaviors of individual and also can do interpretation but they don’t have freedom in
raising questions about laws and government regulation.
ARGUMENT:
Philosophers used to ask question related to norms, rights, obligations, beliefs from people in
order to know the connected behavior in society.
In the name of freedom of speech some people try to convert society into secularism which is not
allowed in the state of Pakistan.
