THE VALUE OF CRITICAL THINKING
IN THE DAYS OF SOCRATES, ITS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY CRITICAL THINKING WAS A POWERFULL TOOL. KNOWLEDGE WAS LIMITED, COMMUNICATION WAS POOR (TO SAY THE LIST), INFACT THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT DID NOT EXIST. THEREFORE THE ABILITY TO THINK OF A PROBLEM AND REFLECT ON ALL ITS FACETS AND ANGLES WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY WAY HUMANITY COULD EVOLVE DURING THIS PERIOD. NO WONDER HE IS SEEN AS GREAT A PHILOSOPHER AS HE IS TODAY.
Chuka,
Good point and one that explains a lot of how we got to where we are today.
