Beschreibung

The Ways We Think critiques predominant approaches to the development of thinking in education and seeks to offer a new account of thought informed by phenomenology, post-structuralism and the 'ordinary language' philosophical traditions. * Presents an original account of thinking for education and explores how this alternative conception of thought might be translated into the classroom * Explores connections between phenomenology, post-structuralism and ordinary language philosophical traditions * Examines the relevance of language in accounts of how we think * Investigates the philosophical accounts of Gilbert Ryle, Martin Heidegger, John Austin and Jacques Derrida * Draws upon experience of own teaching practice as philosopher-in-residence

Rezensionen

that the properly formed critical thinker can put to use in any domain of inquiry. In this bold and original book Emma Williams convincingly shows that this conception of critical thinking is anything but a common-sense understanding of ourselves as thinking beings, but is deeply rooted in the intellectualist and rationalist tradition of modern Western philosophy. While that tradition foregrounds an instrumental and technological vision of thinking, and a disengaged and representational model of human inquiry, Williams champions a phenomenological account of human thinking that attempts to do justice to it as at once responsive, receptive and contextual, and productive, creative and open.'
'The idea that children's learning outcomes will benefit from developing their potential as independent, critical thinkers is something of a truism. The prevailing conception of critical thinking in educational theory can seem equally truistic: it concerns the acquisition of more or less formal "transferable skills", and "dispositions"
