Liberating the Mind - Overcoming Sociocentric Thought and Egocentric Tendencies (Hardcover)

Throughout history, thinkers from every part of society have been crippled by the notion that a person's own views and the views of the groups with which that person associates are supremely and exclusively right. Hand in hand, these dangerous tendencies pose the greatest threat to any progress towards rational society. Critical thinking leader Linda Elder reveals sociocentric and egocentric thinking as foundational obstacles to thinking. Dissecting the very core of how humans learn, think, and chose to act, The Liberated Mind shows us how to free ourselves from dysfunctional patterns and achieve truly rational thought. This instant intellectual classic points towards the salvation of human reason. Through the cultivation of critical societies, we can follow the example of Socrates and live the examined life, even in times of upheaval and doubt.
