本书特色
“我知道做个慎思明辨的人挺好的,会问很多恰到好处的问题也挺不错,可我就是不知道该问哪些问题,也不知道怎么个问法。”很多人不知道怎样切实有效地提出一些批判性问题,希望我们能提供较为详尽的指导,鉴于此,我们专门撰写了这本书,以满足大家的需求,目前这已是本书的第11 版了。只有学会独立思考和判断,也只有经过批判性问题的层层考验后形成的决定和信念,才让我们觉得更加理直气壮。任何东西想要进入我们的头脑,首先就得接受我们信奉的一些特定标准的检验,我们为此倍感自豪。 本书*为显著的特色之一就是它的适用范围远远超出了你的想象,延伸到形形色色的生活实践之中。与批判性思维联系在一起的种种习惯和态度,可以被灵活运用到消费、医疗、法律及一般伦理和个人的抉择当中。此外,坚持用这些批判性思维提问也可以巩固我们不断增长的知识,帮助我们更快地发现世界运行的规律,更好地理解这个世界,以及怎样做才能让世界变得更美好。
内容简介
本书具有简明扼要、清楚易懂以及篇幅短小的特色。这本小书出色地完成了它的既定目标——传授批判性思考和提问的技能。40多年向学生传授批判性思维技能的经验也让我们确信,尽管学生们能力有差异、术业有专攻,只要我们用简单易懂的方法向他们传授批判性思维的技能,他们很快就能成功地将其应用于各种实践。在学以致用的过程中,他们的信心逐步增强,在重大社会问题和个人问题方面,他们做出理性抉择的能力也与日俱增,哪怕面对从前极少经历过的重大问题,他们也一样可以应对自如。 虽然本书主要是从我们的课堂教学经验中总结出来的,但它的目标在于指导绝大多数人培养更佳的阅读和倾听习惯。对于它旨在培养的种种技能,任何一个不盲从、盲信的读者都需要将之拿来用作理性判断的基础。本书所反复强调的批判性问题可以提高我们的论证能力,不管我们受过的正规教育有多少。你在书里的收获,相信会大大出乎你的意料。
