Albert Einstein said, though no one can verify when or where he
said it, that the problems facing us cannot be solved at the level
of thinking that created them. If that is so, then it must surely
be true of global problems. To solve global problems we need a new
level of thinking. In Wide as the World: Cosmopolitan Identity and
Democratic Dialogue Jack Crittenden examines and brings to life in
a dialogue between two fictional characters this new level of
thinking: dialectical thinking. Found through psychological
research to be a higher-order thinking characteristic of advanced
adult development, dialectical thinking transcends but embraces and
integrates difference and ambiguity. It permits those using it to
expand their perspectives, their worldviews, and even their
identities to cosmopolitan or worldwide proportions. Crittenden
suggests that when built in as part of the structures of democratic
dialogue, dialectical thinking can help elected officials and
ordinary citizens alike, from local meetings to global
institutions, address and solve our most vexing problems
