Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
How can I come to a reasoned opinion about a contemporary issue or question by looking at the underlying assumptions behind the idea or question?
Using the devise of imaginary conversations and evidence-based research, this introductory study aims to help everyone, whether teenagers or adults analyse knowledge claims in an interactive way and seeks to be a practical tool for thinking about thinking (metacognition).
The compact edition of the book describes what knowledge is and explains various thinking tools such as Venn diagrams, Socratic dialogues, fallacies, and biases as part of the tools for helping the reader to develop or enhance their critical thinking skills. In particular, the book uses many imaginary conversations to explore contemporary issues.
The imaginary conversations are designed as a tool for enhancing and developing thinking skills by using case studies where there is evidenced-based reasoned arguments and counterarguments between a series of characters. Such conversations have been termed “metaphysical conversations” in that they also explore metaphysical themes and the assumptions behind various subjects.
The metaphysical conversations deliberately highlight links between various subjects as part of the tool for helping the reader come to their own reasoned opinion about these subjects. By using the device of imaginary discussions, the book is designed to help readers analyse situations from ‘how can we know what is real?’ “What is meant by marriage?” to thinking about the 2020 global pandemic involving the coronavirus, covid-19.
By using a wide range of disciplines and showing links between these, we will aim to answer the following questions together:
•How do I know what I know?
- What is knowledge?
- How do I construct my knowledge? (Thinking and world views)
- What affects my knowledge?
- What tools do I need to arrive at an informed view about any particular subject of interest?
And the main or overall aim is/
“How can I decide what is right to believe when confronted with so many belief systems and views about morality, politics, the environment, marriage, family etc from social media as well as the traditional media like newspapers, radio and television”?
How do you choose which (if any) out of peer pressure, media reports, received wisdom is correct (or not)?
This book is also for people who have not studied Philosophy or a formal critical thinking course or who, having heard about critical thinking courses like TOK have thought, “I wish I had studied a critical thinking course at some point!” Some may wish to avoid being “tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching...”
It goes without saying that there are also many other excellent critical thinking books and websites available, which go into far more depth than this study.
However, this introductory study allows for the in-depth exploration of certain perspectives which many not be easy to discuss with peers but become easier to articulate by using the device of imaginary conversations.
Finally, this book will provide some answers but, most of all provide tools to help YOU find answers for yourself and thereby learn to think even more critically.
