The resources on this site are managed and/or created by the faculty of Longview Community College for use in integrating Critical Thinking into all areas of the college curriculum. If you have linked your pages to our resources, or know someone who has please let us know! If you do link to us, please make sure you list us as: Critical Thinking across the Curriculum Project, Longview Community College. Our Purpose The intent of this site is to provide our fellow faculty members in every discipline with the most complete resources for integrating Critical Thinking into their classes. The resources are categorized by discipline with an additional category for the core resources which are applicable to all the disciplines. We appreciate that each discipline will have a different view of what Critical Thinking is and how it applies to that discipline and we encourage debate and contributions which reflect these views. As Educators and Philosophers we also maintain that there is a core group of skills and principles which are relevant to any academic discipline. We have tried to provide resources which will allow you to teach those skills and principles without compromising your individual discipline-specific views of how they should be applied. Check the Contents page to find these resources and those specific to your discipline.

Objectives, Grading, Syllabus and Assignments Readings for this course which are not by Corbett Logic in Basketball, Literacy in College This essay by Art Sandler of the Webster University Philosophy Department harks back to the days when Webster was a college not a university, and when there were no general degree requirements. Graduation requirements were that one have 128 hours of credit and a major. The Will To Believe This essay by William James not only presents an interesting essay to practice basic skills of critical analysis, but along the way raises some interesting content about thinking. Plants of the Gods This essay by Wade Davis is a chapter from his book: SHADOWS IN THE SUN. Davis presents some challenging theses that not only challenge some fundamental faith in contemporary science, but introduces us to his claims concerning the scientific status of the field of ethnobotany. Reading for this course which are by Bob Corbett What is a thesis and how does one find it?

35. 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

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.

Coombs University of British Columbia 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.
