Description
Intellectual Empathy: A Step-by-Step Guide to Facilitating Transformative Conversations. Developed by Maureen Linker after over a decade of teaching critical thinking in Detroit, Intellectual Empathy provides a practical method for discussing socially divisive issues. This approach has proven valuable for students pursuing careers in education, social work, law, business, and medicine. Linker explains why interrogating our own beliefs is essential, acknowledging the affective aspects of reasoning and how emotion is embedded in our understanding of self and other. Through examples from classroom dialogues, online forums, news media, and diversity training workshops, readers learn to recognize logical fallacies and critically assess their social biases, as well as structural inequalities that perpetuate social injustice. By applying these skills, individuals can facilitate fruitful dialogues about social differences, break down barriers, and repair relationships.
