Our ability to think, argue and reason is determined by our ability
to question. Questions are a vital component of critical thinking,
yet we underestimate the role they play. Using Questions to Think
puts questioning back in the spotlight. Naming the parts of
questions at the same time as we name parts of thought, this
one-of-a-kind introduction allows us to see how questions relate to
the definitions of propositions, premises, conclusions, and the
validity of arguments. Why is this important? Making the role of
questions visible in thinking reasoning and dialogue, allows us to:
- Ask better questions - Improve our capability to understand an
argument - Exercise vigilance in the act of questioning - Make
explicit what you already know implicitly - Engage with ideas that
contradict our own - See ideas in broader context Breathing new
life into our current approach to critical thinking, this
practical, much-needed textbook moves us away from the traditional
focus on formal argument and fallacy identification, combines the
Kantian critique of reason with Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutics
and reminds us why thinking can only be understood as an answer to
a question.
