Philosophy 4 - Overview Critical Thinking Prof. Dowden Let's face it. There are three kinds of people in the world: the kind who are good at a course like this, and the kind who are not. Throughout your day, you will want to keep your critical eye on the situation around you, and not blindly accept everything you see, hear or read, even if it's from your professor, who was joking in that last sentence. Our course is designed to develop your critical thinking skills, the basic skills of good reasoning that you need for the intelligent and responsible conduct of your life. The goal is to improve your ability to think and act reflectively, creatively and responsibly. Critical thinking skills involve the ability to reason, to assemble evidence in order to develop a position, and to communicate complex ideas. When you are using the yellow pages of the telephone book to locate a gorilla costume for Halloween, you don't look up "gorilla," do you? You already have that critical thinking skill. Our course will improve your higher level skills. The major topics in our course include: thinking logically identifying argument structure

44. On Critical Thinking It is one thing to know what my philosophy is. I had such an experience in a workshop on critical thinking taught by Dr. Craig Nelson, a biologist from Indiana http://com.pp.asu.edu/classes/jerryb/oncriticalthinking.htm

On Critical Thinking Jerry L. Buley, Ph.D. A Philosophy of Learning I am reasonably sure that in most classes you are not confronted with an instructor's philosophy of learning. I do so in this class because the way this class will operate may be quite different from the way other teachers would teach such a class. In the first few days of class we will cover the philosophy behind how the course will be taught as well as the format for how the class will proceed. A major goal I have for this class is to help you develop your critical thinking skills especially as you might use them to evaluate research and theories in interpersonal communication. Notice that my goal is not to inject knowledge into your waiting mind. Any method of teaching which attempts to inject knowledge into waiting student's minds is at best ill informed and at worst does a grave injustice to the student. Paternalistic teachers using such methods assume that student are incapable of critical thinking and that they, the teacher, must predigest then deliver knowledge so that the student may regurgitate in on tests. It assumes that students are incapable of organizing and synthesizing information for themselves. Because I do not believe that students are incompetent in this way, and, since I want to increase your ability to organize and synthesize information on interpersonal communication theory, I believe I must use other methods of instruction. A major aspect of this course will focus on questions which have no single right or wrong answer - topics on which a simple transfer of information from instructor to student, from me to you, is inadequate. In this class, the responsibility for your learning in upon you. This means my participation will be less central. I have three obligations using this philosophy of learning. One is to select information which is indicative of the present state of knowledge in interpersonal communication. Another is to design the environment in which learning can be maximized. The last is to evaluate your learning.

51. Visionary Philosopher / Original Philosophy / Critical Thinking / Thinking Criti But I believe in unrestricted creative and critical thinking, and the Kuhn debate, paradigm shifts, democracy, rationalism, capitalism, philosophy and sociology http://huizen.daxis.nl/~henkt/philosophy.html

Visionary Philosopher I never would have used the notion 'visionary philosopher' when together these two words wouldn't perfectly attract searchengines. But I believe in unrestricted creative and critical thinking, and the notion expresses perfectly well what I was looking for. Before understanding the workings of a paradigm shift I was flabbergasted when observing how little effect in the last say 150 years the genial thoughts had of philosophers like: Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Kuhn I.e. I at first honestly couldn't imagine how philosophers with open eyes could miss their messages. I'm sure a lot of people still using the logic 'common sense' were ready AND waiting for their message. Nietzsche cherishing creativity (Will to Power), Wittgenstein stressing the utter cultural importance of language, and Kuhn introducing paradigms (or cultural worlds) I'll use the following steps: "What on earth ..." Towards Creativity 2 quotes of Friedrich Nietzsche. A tribute. Focus and Wide Angle ... Game of Socker "What on earth ..." But you're right to ask: "what on earth IS a visionary philosopher?" What are the characteristics of Visionary Philosopher?

Deconstructive arguments work by demonstrating that a position's premises yield contradictory conclusions when entailments are carefully considered. Such arguments are useful with respect to doctrinal issues because they sidestep 'inadequacy of cognitive processes' or 'irrelevance of evidence' objections. I provide a 'doctrinaire example'.

INTRODUCTION TO CRITICAL THINKING Philosophy 11 SYLLABUS Links within this webpage Instructor Description Honor System Objectives ... WebCT Instructor Welcome to RCC’s online course in Critical Thinking. My name is Cynthia D. Gobatie (Cyn-D) and I am the instructor and coordinator of this course. I am a full-time philosophy instructor and I have been teaching at RCC since 1990. Description Critical thinking deals with the analysis of claims made in everyday life. During the course of a normal week, a person encounters literally thousands of claims; those made by employers and co-workers, educators, advertisers, the media, the government, family members, the church, etc. A course in critical thinking is designed to enable the student to decide whether or not a claim is actually being made and, if a claim is made, to assess the merits of the claim on the basis of available information. In many instances, arguments are given in support of claims. A course in critical thinking also presents techniques for analyzing arguments and recognizing common mistakes within arguments. This is a very important course to complete because you will be learning techniques and skills that can be applied in any other class that you take as well as in the workplace or social situations. When you strip down living to its essentials, the goal of every person is to make the best decision or choice possible under any given set of circumstances. The ability to make such decisions successfully is what smoothes our way through life. What happens if we make a poor decision? Bad things! Poor decisions lead to unfortunate, unhappy, and sometimes disastrous consequences! So our goal is to minimize the poor choices. I contend that a course in Critical Thinking will aid each and every person in making stronger, more successful choices which will then lead to more positive outcomes. What could be more important than that?
