Synopsis
This book about thinking presents readers with a systematic, practical, and friendly approach that encompasses all fields of study and business. It explores a valuable skill that will inspire and enlarge people's ability to think through life. Chapter topics cover what thinking is, personal barriers, sensing, brain and memory, language, feeling, creative thinking, organizing, logical thinking, scientific thinking, persuasive thinking, problem solving, evaluating, decision and action, and the challenge to go on thinking. They draw ideas on thinking from every period of history-from the philosophers, poets, scientists, psychologists, linguists, and neuroscientists. For thinkers of the new millenium., For courses in Introduction to Philosophy, Critical Thinking, and English Composition. Thinking's comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach encourages a more complete and practical treatment for the student of how to think logically, critically, creatively, and persuasively. The authors wrote this book to give teachers and students a friendlier, more comprehensive, more systematic, more interdisciplinary, and thus a more effective text than any on the market.
