Ariadne's Thread: Experiments in Critical Thinking According to myth, Ariadne gave Theseus a thread with which to find his way out of the Labyrinth. If our Labyrinth is made up of political rhetoric, brute assertions, and sound bites, then we too must find a thread. Ariadne's Thread is concerned with arguments related to politically significant ethical issues like abortion. The arguments are mainly ethical rather than legal or political. The purpose of this site is not to promote any particular answer to any particular question. It is rather to help each of us to critically analyze, to practice a kind of moral reasoning, and to develop reasoned views Read More Go to Site Asian Philosophy and Critical Thinking: Divergence or Convergence?

Soraj Hongladarom Department of Philosophy Chulalongkorn University Introduction It is widely recognized nowadays that critical thinking has become a necessary ingredient in all levels of education. Educators and educational policy makers agree that one of the desirable goals of education is that students are able to think critically. In Thailand, many have felt the need to inculcate critical thinking more seriously in educational curricula. Thais have gone so far as to include a clause in the newly promulgated Constitution that a bill on education be passed by Parliament. At the moment the act is being considered by various factors and agencies. The core of the proposed act is the idea that the students be able to think cr Read More Go to Site bbs.html Votes:0 Preliminary Results of survey of users and non-users of Eprint Archives: http://www.eprints.org/results/ * The BBS Archive is now exclusively at the UK site. * In preparation for the integration of the UK and New York offices in autumn 2000, the Princeton BBS Archive is no longer being updated.

What is desired are students who have purposes for learning, know how and when to question, who recognize when more information is needed and the type of knowledge which is required, know how to find and organize information, and who can generate and evaluate a number of alternatives to human problems.

[1] Hatcher urges us to embrace the realist epistemology andfound teaching strategies on it. That is to say, the intellectual standardconstitutive of critical thinking is predicated on the belief that truth isobjectively 'out there' and is largely accessible (save occasions forfallibility, as Hatcher's 'fallibilistic' realism indicates).

Used with permission. Abstract In a rapidly evolving information technology era, librarians find their foundations of professionalism shaken. Critically evaluating the intrinsic role of the librarian reveals our responsibility for the education of independent information seekers. Using the model of the expert and apprentice, librarians need to focus on the teaching of critical thinking skills, over and above the more mechanistic skills of evaluation of resources and mastery of search tools. The design of instruction in a situated learning environment, utilizing constructivist tenets and a self-directed inquiry based approach leads to higher order cognitive skills and Read More Go to Site Educational Psychology Interactive: Critical thinking Votes:0 Critical Thinking: An Overview Citation: Huitt, W.

(The terms 'judicial', 'perspective' and 'standpoint' are the only ones Kant himself does not use as technical terms.) It was originally written as a study aide to help make the intricate web of Kant's termi?nology comprehensible to students who had little or no fa?mil?iar?i?ty with Kant's writings. Where relevant, the opposite term is given in curved brackets at the end of the definition. When a word defined herein (or a slight?ly different form of such a word) is used in the course of defining some other word in this Glossary, its first occurrence in that definition will be in italics. a posteriori Read More Go to Site Home - JSA Votes:0 About JSA New BETA website!

It may read a little easier here than it did after the Album's editing job. Real philosophy is especially logical thinking -- rather than scientific or religious thinking -- about fundamental questions. These many fundamental questions are about what things exist or what things actually come to, and how we can know them, and what things are good. This real philosophy began two and a half millenniums ago with the ancient Greeks. Plato began the idea that there is some reality behind or under the ordinary world we see. He also made a start on a particular part of philosophy that is even more flourishing as our new millennium begins tha Read More Go to Site Mission: Critical (Home Page) Votes:0 Tutorials Tour Search Feedback Awards Links "If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't.

Pyrrhonism was founded by the ancient Greek skeptic Pyrrho of Elis. It was a school of philosophy that was intended to provide a practical way of life as opposed to just a theoretical or academic pursuit. The most famous written expression of Pyrrhonism is Outlines of Pyrrhonism by Sextus Empiricus. This handbook can be viewed as an attempt to provide a similar outline in the language of the late twentieth century.
