Review of Educating Reason: Rationality, Critical Thinking and Education

Abstract

Introduction:  What is "critical thinking"?  Is it something that is general across disciplines, or a different entity in each discipline?  Should we teach it, and if so, why?  These are the kinds of questions Harvey Siegel addresses in his book on Educating Reason.  As is true in any book of this kind, some questions are answered better than others.
