thought (about-thought-about-thought!); and a key component of this nature is the very perfection and goodness of His thought as connected to His teleological role as the source of all movement. If God is the perfect being whose nature is perfect thinking; and if His very thoughts are the fount of all motion in the universe; then included in the purity of His thought-of-His-thought-of-His-thought must be His Creation; and naturally, each and every being of Creation then enjoys an individuated…

I improved in my rhetorical knowledge during our Writing Project 1…

somewhere that thinking about thinking is a sign of higher intelligence. But just thinking alone never gets done these days, much less thinking about thinking. Of course, we think about what we are going to wear to that special event, we think about all the work that we need to get done before tomorrow, we think about that really cool gadget that we saw at the store yesterday, and my personal favorite, we think about what we are going to eat later today. But is this the kind of thinking that is…

While the army problem solving process does not specify a requirement to consider different points of view, Dr. Paul and Dr. Elder include this as part of the foundation for effective critical and creative thinking skills. Without this step, Dr. Paul and Dr. Elder believe that an individual’s thinking often becomes biased, lacks required information, and risks being prejudicial .

To me, the English language has sometimes felt like a non-topical subject; the ever-present facet of the daily lives of people across the world. In my years before higher education, language did not really have an impact on how I viewed the world, because it felt like a part of standard living; English and Korean at home, English at school.

The deductive reasoning works at best when the statements used in the argument are true and the statements in the argument clearly follow from one another.

If the given statement follows a conclusion from a hypothesis, then it is called valid deductive reasoning or the Law of Detachment. Law of Detachment If a⇒b is a true conditional statement and a is true, then b is true. Example 3.16: If ∠A and ∠B are…

Although the definitions of wisdom often include an ability to make proper decisions and to think objectively this concept is more complex, philosophical and its connotative meaning is a thought-provoking topic for a discussion. First of all, does the fact that a person has obtained a degree make him or her wise? Secondly, why do people tend to say that someone is wise beyond years? Does it mean that wisdom and age do correlate? And finally, can an immoral person be called wise despite the fact…

John Kenneth Galbraith talks about “conventional wisdom.” He says, “people associate truth with convenience. He describes conventional wisdom as something that is comforting and convenient and doesn’t necessarily need to be true information. Galbraith also describes advertising as a brilliant tool for creating conventional wisdom.
