SynopsisIntroduces students to the art of critical thinking using age-old philosophies and real-world applications. The author has revived the art of critical thinking and presents if here in a cogent, succinct, pragmatic manner. It will help turn your student sheep back into student people., Critical Thinking: A Shepherd's Guide to Tending Sheep portrays people as sheep. Not a wholly original idea. As anthropomorphic as it may be, human beings tend to follow various shepherds, and they tend to do so in herds. The irony, however, is that most Americans consider themselves individuals, non-conformists, and self-reliant. Hence, the difficulty in teaching Americans how to think critically is found in actually convincing them that they are not individuals until they master critical thinking.
