The three dimensions of critical thinking

Extract three key words: aware, capable and proactive

  • Ability to ask and answer these questions in an appropriate manner at the appropriate time
  • A strong desire to use these key questions proactively

Two ways of thinking

    • Selective acceptance, emphasizing the active interaction with the questioner in the process of acquiring knowledge

Strong critical thinking and weak critical thinking

  • Strong critical thinking: Assimilating the views of others and evaluating and improving your own beliefs
  • Weak critical thinking: self-centered and firm in your beliefs

In daily life and work, when communicating with others, it is sometimes necessary to think through critical thinking whether there are loopholes in the other party’s remarks or whether they need to be improved.

Anyway, when you’re talking to someone and you need to come to a conclusion. First, we need to know what the other person’s conclusion is. Then determine whether there is a theory to support the conclusion; And then see if there’s something wrong with the argument.

At work, when discussing a proposal, it is necessary to see whether the proposal is supported by theories or other factors. For example, in pressure measurement, is the selection of pressure indicators reasonable? Are other people also taking this type of pressure measurement as an observation object? If there is no theoretical support, but only through intuition, often make mistakes (generally experienced people will make less mistakes than inexperienced people).

To cultivate reason, what we need most is conscientiousness. A lot of things in the world are afraid of serious, a serious, a lot of bombastic views slowly disappear. When everyone is serious, there is no room for a lot of empty lies. In the past, Hu Shi had said that we should study more problems and talk less about doctrines, and he stressed that every ounce of evidence is worth every ounce of talk. I was rather impatient at that time. After reading this book, I could not help but feel more recognition and admiration for Hu Shi. Overall read down, feel their daily work life without understanding great harm. I also understand the various challenges of leader. In fact, critical thinking enables you to have a deep understanding of your own views. Everything is afraid of serious, get to the bottom of it. But if you don’t ask why, you don’t know if a conclusion is true or not.
