THOUGHT AND KNOWLEDGE: AN INTRODUCTION TO CRITICAL THINKING

Diane F. Halpern’s text on critical thinking covers a broad range of topics related to the acquisition, retention and translation of knowledge. Although the book is commonly used as a teaching text, Thought and Knowledge is equally suitable as a reflective tool for instructors from many disciplines. Halpern challenges the teacher as well as the student to develop skills necessary for “knowing how to learn and knowing how to think clearly about the rapidly proliferating information with which we will all have to contend” . In just under four hundred pages, Halpern presents a well-organized discussion of strategies for meeting this challenge. The book cites the cognitive psychological literature extensively but not superfluously, and in such a way that the general reader is informed rather than overwhelmed.
If you do not have time to read Thought and Knowledge cover to cover, individual chapters are fairly self-contained and may be digested independently.
