Extractions: Curriculum Project Contributed by: Ray Porter and Michael Connelly Selecting resources in Philosophy which specifically deal with critical thinkingis a very difficult task, not because there isn't much, but rather because the very activity of doing philosophy involves critical thinking on a wide variety of subjects. In order to organize the resources in an intelligible way, we have decided to group them under the general topic areas covered in the typical Introductory Philosophy class. Resources under Logic can be found in the Core resources section of the Critical Thinking Home page.

Contact Critical thinking ability develops gradually as we learn to organize our world logically and gauge probabilities with increasing success. Instruction in particular subject areas almost always includes an element of teaching critical thinking by example. Our courses in critical thinking examine formally and informally the logics that give structure to thinking itself. In this way, we continue the lifelong project of becoming more aware of our own thinking and the thinking of others. Section Resources for Critical Thinking Courses

Critical Thinking Course: Corbett Essay: Reflections On Wade Davis' Essay
What makes this chapter such an excellent challenge for a course in critical thinking is not the travelliterature aspect of the chapter.
http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/philosophy/critical/corbett-davis.html

Extractions: SOME REFLECTIONS ON WADE DAVIS AND HIS ESSAY: "THE PLANTS OF THE GODS" Bob Corbett Wade Davis is a scientist, specifically an ethnobotanist. Within that science he is a specialistof the use of hallucinogenic plants for religious purposes. I first met him in 1983 in Haiti. He was there to do research on zombies, having been sent to Haiti with pots-full of money by some pharmaceutical company to find the supposed drugs which created zombies. Since anesthesia is one of the most dangerous medical procedures, it was believed that if the zombie drugs could be found and if they really worked, perhaps they would be safer than the drugs currently used as anesthetics. The general belief was there were two drugs or poisons used in zombification: one to put one into a death-like trance and another to bring one back out; exactly what anesthetics are supposed to do. Davis was there to explore this area. From this experience he wrote three books, a very popular level book called THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW, a quite scholarly book which I highly recommend, PASSAGE OF DARKNESS, and his doctoral dissertation at Harvard University on which Passage is based. Additionally, he sold the rights to Serpent to Hollywood and either in extreme naivete or with some less flattering motivation, sold with the book all rights to the text. Hollywood produced a quite well-known horror movie of the same name as the book, THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW. This horror film, which I hear from horror film buffs is quite a decent horror film, was an utter horror for Haiti and the latest in a long-line of Hollywood films which denigrated the Haitian national religion, Voodoo, and portrayed this fairly ordinary religion as rank superstition and supernatural black magic.

http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/EPS/PES-Yearbook/97_docs/coombs.html

Extractions: S TRAND 1. S ALVAGING P HILOSOPHY OF E DUCATION Professor Okshevsky is concerned that the educational community may misinterpret Rorty's doubts about whether philosophy has anything to offer education. He notes that Rorty has expressed the belief that philosophical reflection, far from enlightening educational deliberation, may interfere with our achieving our larger educational purposes. He also quotes Rorty's comment that "The best that us philosophers can do is to develop a suitable rhetoric for the presentation of new [practical] suggestions - making them a bit more palatable." Wrongly interpreted, these views could lead to the educational community's discounting the possibility that philosophy can make any valuable contributions to public deliberations about educational policy and practice.

Course Availability PHIL 252 is designed to improve a student's ability to analyse and evaluate the kinds of arguments and assertions commonly met with in everyday life. The course also helps students improve their own arguments and presentations by showing them how to draw sound conclusions from available evidence and how to construct well-reasoned cases to support these conclusions. Although the course focuses on the informal logic of everyday language, it includes some training in elementary formal logic. A student is taught how to apply fundamental rules and standards of logical reasoning to the sorts of arguments encountered in newspapers, magazines and other media, and university-level textbooks in most fields.
