"Fred Whitehead is not young. He's still locked into the old print culture. I asked him about a web site, but apparently he thinks it's not worth it. I don't have this book, but ai do have another book (hard copy) by John Brown Press."

"This appears to be the only review anywhere on the net. Book not sold anywhere, John Brown Press doesn't have a website which is odd in this day and age. "

Thinking Critically About Critical Thinking

I finally returned to a project I left unfinished three years ago. I can't say it's finished finished, but I whipped it into a usable format. Originally I had combined three areas of inquiry, which I've now separated out: (1) critical thinking resources & critical approaches to the critical thinking industry, (2) a critical bibliography of the 'dumbing down' complaint industry, (3) documentation & refutation of George Lakoff's theory & politics of framing.

Ralph Ellectual replied to Adriana's discussion Giving Ockham's Razor its true diimension in the group CRITICAL THINKING
