critical thinking [Theme]

All mental activity is great and fruitful only as long as it remains inseparable from the sincerity and firmness of deep conviction.

I try to think openly. But not so much that the brain can fall out.

The world as we created it is the process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

"Today I am in a great mood, and my System 2 is weaker than usual. I need to be very careful."

"It's so often repeated that we tend to believe, but let's think about it".

Critical thinking is use of cognitive techniques or strategies that increase the probability of obtaining the desired end result. This definition describes the thinking as something different controllability, validity and determination - this type of thinking is resorted to in solving problems, formulating conclusions, probabilistic assessment and decision-making. Thus, thinking uses the skills that are valid and effective for a particular situation and the type of the problem being solved. Other definitions additionally indicate that critical thinking is characterized by the construction of logical inferences (Simon and Kaplan, 1989), creating coherent logic models (Stahl Stahl, 1991) and decisions relating to, reject any judgment, agree with him or temporarily to defer consideration of the matter (Moore Parker, 1994). All these definitions imply a mental activity which needs to be aimed at solving concrete cognitive tasks.
