A valuable guide on creativity and critical thinking to improve
reasoning and decision-making skills
Critical thinking skills are essential in virtually any field of
study or practice where individuals need to communicate ideas, make
decisions, and analyze and solve problems. "An Introduction to
Critical Thinking and Creativity: Think More, Think Better"
outlines the necessary tools for readers to become critical as well
as creative thinkers. By gaining a practical and solid foundation
in the basic principles that underlie critical thinking and
creativity, readers will become equipped to think in a more
systematic, logical, and imaginative manner.
Creativity is needed to generate new ideas to solve problems,
and critical thinking evaluates and improves an idea. These
concepts are uniquely introduced as a unified whole due to their
dependence on each other. Each chapter introduces relevant theories
in conjunction with real-life examples and findings from cognitive
science and psychology to illustrate how the theories can be
applied in numerous fields and careers. An emphasis on how
theoretical principles of reasoning can be practical and useful in
everyday life is featured, and special sections on presentation
techniques, the analysis of meaning, decision-making, and reasoning
about personal and moral values are also highlighted.
All chapters conclude with a set of exercises, and detailed
solutions are provided at the end of the book. A companion website
features online tutorials that further explore topics including
meaning analysis, argument analysis, logic, statistics, and
strategic thinking, along with additional exercises and multimedia
resources for continued study. "An Introduction to Critical
Thinking and Creativity" is an excellent book for courses on
critical thinking and logic at the undergraduate and graduate
levels. The book also serves as a self-contained study guide for
readers interested in the topics of critical thinking and
creativity as a unified whole.
