Description
Thinking in Education by Matthew Lipman provides a comprehensive approach to teaching critical thinking and reasoning skills. First published in 2003, this revised edition builds upon the author's earlier work, incorporating new methods for integrating emotive experience, mental acts, and informal fallacies into a cohesive approach to improving reasoning and judgment. The book offers practical procedures for infusing critical thinking into various aspects of education, from existing disciplines to everyday learning. Lipman argues that while critical thinking is essential, it is not sufficient on its own; students also need to develop creative and caring thinking skills. This edition explores how the community of inquiry can be used to promote positive classroom environments and improve the education of children at risk. By exploring these approaches, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how to foster thoughtful, reasonable, and judicious thinking in themselves and others.
