This unique book is a concise introduction to creativity--the art
of expanding possibility. Covering such practical methods as
multiplying options, brainstorming, lateral thinking, reframing
problems, and many others, it offers provocative and effective
methods for constructive and expansive kinds of thinking. These
methods are illustrated and reinforced through exercises and
applications that range from science and technology to the arts;
from the small aggravations of everyday life to the largest
difficulties in politics, the family, and the future; and from
"creative good citizenship" to "creativity to change the
world."
Creativity for Critical Thinkers is an ideal supplement for any
general course in thinking skills, and in particular for courses in
critical thinking, as it frees them from a preoccupation with
"critical thinking" as merely criticism. It can be used in creative
writing and design courses as well, and provides a quick and
engaging introduction to creative thinking for workshop
participants and general readers. It shows readers who have been
trained to think "in the box" how to think "out of the box"--freely
and imaginatively. By looking at the world or some part of the
world as it could be, creativity offers an entirely new view of the
world as it is.
