REASON - A BOOK AND COURSE ON CRITICAL THINKING

Reason addresses a serious problem in the education arena: the inability of students at all educational levels to think. Although a great deal of the academic literature has focused upon what is commonly referred to as critical thinking, little if any progress has been made based upon standardized testing at the college and graduate levels. Furthermore, high school graduates are routinely required by employers to attend remedial training classes so that the most basic skills can be learned or re-learned.

Reason is a back-to-basics approach to critical thinking. The first step in that process will be to emphasize vital learning tools. Rather than beginning with thinking or reasoning processes, readers will initially be asked to master the means by which information, knowledge and, more importantly, understanding are acquired by everyone.

It should also be emphasized that the learning tools and the reasoning skills which follow are not directed solely to an educational context or a particular area of subject matter. Those tools and skills are universal and apply to personal interactions and every day problems as well. Thus, the matters addressed in this book can be helpful to people of all ages and all educational levels.

Once the learning tools and reasoning skills have been adopted and mastered, the methodology for critical thinking can be presented. As used in this context, the term critical thinking means “to understand and reason with discernment. That approach is best suited to facilitate the application of what we know and understand to what we do no know or may not understand. These vital topics shall be explained in greater depth following the chapters dedicated to learning tools and reasoning skills.

And finally, a word concerning what this book is not about is required. Many books about critical thinking deal almost exclusively with the subject of argumentation. That will not be emphasized here. The reason is simple: critical thinking is what one does before any argument begins. In other words, the process which is the subject of this book includes the intellectual faculties required to reach defensible conclusions based upon clear understanding and methodical reasoning.
