    The ideal of critical thinking is a central one in Russell s philosophy, thoughthis is not yet generally recognized. Russell s name seldom appears in the  
    http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Educ/EducHare.htm
    
    Extractions: William.hare@msvu.ca ABSTRACT: The threat of indoctrination, the importance of individual judgment, and the prevalence of fanatical opinions all point up the need for what nowadays is called critical thinking; and Russell's work is valuable to anyone who wants to understand what this kind of thinking entails and why it matters in education. More needs to be said, however, to establish the significance of Russell's conception of critical thinking, which anticipates many of the insights in contemporary discussions and avoids many of the pitfalls which recent writers identify. Some factors, perhaps, obscure a ready appreciation of Russell's contribution. His comments on critical thinking are scattered throughout numerous writings, never systematized into a comprehensive account; nor did Russell tend to use the now dominant terminology of "critical thinking". This phrase only began to come into fashion in the 1940s and 1950s, and earlier philosophers spoke more naturally of reflective thinking, straight thinking, clear thinking, or scientific thinking, often of thinking

    Extractions: giboncori@axrma.uniroma1.it ABSTRACT: I. Teaching Philosophy The teaching of philosophy want to obtain the integral education of human person, to know the meaning of human existence and activiy (PIERETTI, 1991). II. Education and its role in teaching philosophy At the end of a systematic teaching there is the evaluation, that verifies if the programmed goals have been realised. We must compare the programmed curriculum, our intentions, to reality, on the basis of the goals and objectives. The validity and reliability are the main traits of a good evaluation (BONCORI, 1992). III. Education and philosophy learning: critical thinking evaluation. 1) Evaluation and critical thinking On the light of these and others studies we built a new test, the "Caccia all'errore 12A". This test has been originally built for a Ph.D. in Education, in the University "La Sapienza" of Roma. It's a non verbal test, including 60 multiple alternative items, experimentally validated on a sample of preapdolescents. The model is strictly based on the idea we described (and criticied) in the previous sections: the test consists in comparing different geometrical figures in logical order; one of the elemnts can be a mistake: the task is to find the mistake, if there is one. The logical operations are selected among seriation and classification, the only ones children 11 years old usually master. So we can be sure that the evaluation is only about critical ability, without any verbal overlapping (BONCORI, 1986; BONCORI, 1989) .

    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-informal/
    
    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Informal logic is an attempt to develop a logic which can be used to assess, analyse and improve the informal reasoning that occurs in the course of personal exchange, advertising, political debate, legal argument, and in the types of social commentary found in newspapers, television, the World Wide Web and other forms of mass media. In many instances, the evolution of informal logic has been motivated by a desire to develop ways of analysing and evaluating ordinary reasoning which can be made a part of general education, and which can inform and improve public reasoning, discussion and debate. To this extent, the interests of informal logic closely intersect with those of the Critical Thinking Movement, which has as its goal the development of a model of education which places more emphasis on critical inquiry. Though informal logic is sometimes portrayed as a theoretical alternative to formal logic, the relationship between the two is more complex than this suggests. While the attempt to teach good reasoning and critical thinking is inevitably couched in natural language, research in informal logic may employ formal methods and one could argue that the informal accounts of argument in which informal logic specializes can in principle be formalized. Recent work in computational modelling, which attempts to implement informal logic models of natural-language reasoning, suggests that defeasible (non-monotonic) logic, probability theory and other non-classical formal frameworks may be well suited to this task.

Contact Critical thinking ability develops gradually as we learn to organize our world logically and gauge probabilities with increasing success. Instruction in particular subject areas almost always includes an element of teaching critical thinking by example. Our courses in critical thinking examine formally and informally the logics that give structure to thinking itself. In this way, we continue the lifelong project of becoming more aware of our own thinking and the thinking of others. Section Resources for Critical Thinking Courses

    Extractions: S TRAND 1. S ALVAGING P HILOSOPHY OF E DUCATION Professor Okshevsky is concerned that the educational community may misinterpret Rorty's doubts about whether philosophy has anything to offer education. He notes that Rorty has expressed the belief that philosophical reflection, far from enlightening educational deliberation, may interfere with our achieving our larger educational purposes. He also quotes Rorty's comment that "The best that us philosophers can do is to develop a suitable rhetoric for the presentation of new [practical] suggestions - making them a bit more palatable." Wrongly interpreted, these views could lead to the educational community's discounting the possibility that philosophy can make any valuable contributions to public deliberations about educational policy and practice. S TRAND 2. D EFENDING C RITICAL T HINKING Given this interpretation, however, the prospects for finding genuinely incommensurable vocabularies or language games do not seem very promising. Correspondingly the prospects for extending the range and depth of critical thinking beyond the confines suggested by Rorty do seem promising. This is not to suggest that critical thinking can have access to criteria of judgment beyond those embodied in some vocabulary and culture. Rather it suggests that the gulfs between seemingly very different vocabularies may not be so wide, nor the commonalities so minimal as to preclude the possibility of rhetorical arguments that bridge them.

Course Availability PHIL 252 is designed to improve a student's ability to analyse and evaluate the kinds of arguments and assertions commonly met with in everyday life. The course also helps students improve their own arguments and presentations by showing them how to draw sound conclusions from available evidence and how to construct well-reasoned cases to support these conclusions. Although the course focuses on the informal logic of everyday language, it includes some training in elementary formal logic. A student is taught how to apply fundamental rules and standards of logical reasoning to the sorts of arguments encountered in newspapers, magazines and other media, and university-level textbooks in most fields.

    Extractions: About Us When I was in graduate school in 1994 at the University of Miami, I had the privilege of being asked by the Philosophy Department’s Chair and my dissertation director, Dr. Alan Goldman, to teach a new course in Critical Thinking and Informal Logic which was being offered at UM. The course introduced me to the methods and techniques of informal logic, fallacy theory, and the nature of argumentation. Teaching the course was a unique, wonderful pedagogical experience, and I was fortunate to have had Dr. Harvey Siegel as a mentor in this new field in which I became interested in. Today, this Web Page is being launched in the hopes that it will generate greater awareness of, and interest in, the many ways in which the study of Critical Thinking and Informal Logic may continue to enrich the education of all students (at both the college and pre-college level). While the Informal Logic and Critical Thinking Movement has its roots back in the late 1960’s, important theoretical work and practical innovations continue to enrich the philosophical study of argumentation theory, as well as school curricula throughout the world. Those of us who will be contributing to this Web Page seek to disseminate news, ideas, and practical strategies for the teaching of Critical Thinking across the curriculum. Moreover, we seek to explore the relation between Critical and Creative Thinking, as these two modes of thinking are often inter-related in constructive and fruitful ways. We hope and look forward to participating and contributing to the growth of this exciting field.
