“What useful things will critical thinking do for you?”
There are three answers to that question.
To make informed decisions — Making informed decisions is essential in your life. You have to decide on everything from where to have tomorrow’s lunch, to what career to pursue. The more you are able to tap into your experiences and knowledge the better your decisions are.
To understand — Your ability to comprehend is another essential element in your life. You are exposed to a wide array of information on television, the Internet books, magazines and people.
Understanding leads to opinions and decision making. For example, by reading about, and comprehending the positions of two political opponents you are better equipped to make an informed decision on how to vote.
To create, invent and discover — The ability to create, invent, and discover are human traits that exist in all of us. We create beautiful art, writing, music and more. We invent things like the light bulb, the computer and rockets. We discover things like E= MC 2, penicillin, and DNA.
The ability to create, invent and discover all require decision making. It is an integral part of each process. There are decisions in choosing a project to pursue. Whatever you pursue there are decisions along the path.
Decision making is thecommon thread that weaves through the most useful things critical thinking will do for you. It is the primary objective of this book. That is it is defined as:
Critical Thinking is the ability to make and carry out informed decisions by efficiently utilizing your lifetime knowledge, experience, common sense, reasoning, intuition, feelings, and confidence.
