進(jìn)度比較慢温治,這周讀了Cover Page戒悠,Title Page,Copyright Page惶看,Dedication,Contents纬黎,Preface,Introduction .
首先介紹此書的背景本今。從1975年以前的主觀主義情感感受思潮為主導(dǎo)到慢慢過渡重視客觀主義理性思考的重要性。作者對(duì)感受與思考兩者的地位高下也做了critical thinking , 提出避免矯枉過正挪凑。認(rèn)為兩者并無沖突逛艰,是互為補(bǔ)充,各有優(yōu)劣的菇绵。但是思考比感受更需要有意識(shí)為之镇眷。做好思考需要系統(tǒng)的理論方法指導(dǎo)與實(shí)踐練習(xí)。
原文摘抄如下:Feeling and thought are perfectly complementary. Feeling, being more spontaneous, is an excelent beginning to the development of conclusions. And thought, being more deliberate, provides a way to identify the best and most appropriate feeling. Both are natural.
Thinking, however, is less automatic than feeling. To do it well demands a systematic approach and guided practice永乌。
全書分為三大部分
The first section explains the psychological, philosophical, and social context in which critical thinking takes place and describes the habits and attitudes that enhance such thinking.
(第一部分解釋了批判性思維產(chǎn)生的心理具伍,哲學(xué)和社會(huì)背景以及描述了可以提高這種思維的習(xí)慣和態(tài)度)
The second section helps students recognize and overcome common errors in thinking

更詳細(xì)的全書三大部分介紹原文如下:
The book has three main sections. The first, “The Context,” will help you understand such important concepts as individuality, critical thinking, truth, knowledge, opinion, evidence, and argument and overcome attitudes and ideas that obstruct critical thinking. The second section, “The Pitfalls,” will teach you to recognize and avoid the most common errors in thinking. The third section, “A Strategy,” will help you acquire the various skills used in addressing problems and issues. This section includes tips on identifying and overcoming your personal intellectual weaknesses as well as techniques for becoming more observant, clarifying issues, conducting inquiries, evaluating evidence, analyzing other people’s views, and making sound judgmentsts
然后中間作者穿插了寫作過程選詞用詞的critical thinking . 批評(píng)思維了喬治奧威爾建議可以使用普通詞匯就不要使用艱澀的術(shù)語(yǔ)的箴言人芽。在專業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)還是普通詞匯的選擇上認(rèn)為不能絕對(duì)專一。不需要過度強(qiáng)調(diào)使用普通詞匯啼肩,因?yàn)閷I(yè)詞匯有其獨(dú)特特定含義祈坠。但是也不能濫用術(shù)語(yǔ)矢劲,否則有賣弄報(bào)復(fù)之嫌。
綜上芬沉,此書是介紹批判性思維這門學(xué)科的一本書阁猜。因?yàn)榕行运季S非常重要剃袍。幾乎我們所有的成就—學(xué)業(yè),事業(yè)民效,社交以及一切個(gè)人事物涛救,其好壞都取決于我們解決問題和做出決策的能力。
It is no exaggeration to say that critical thinking is one of the most important subjects you will study in college regardless of your academic major. The quality of your schoolwork, your efforts in your career, your contributions to community life, your conduct of personal affairs—all will depend on your ability to solve problems and make decisions.
