Critical Thinking is a crucial thought process to see underneath the symptoms and dig into root causes.
Do you think fast or thinking slowly? There’s time for thinking fast, and there’s time for thinking slowly. And Critical Thinking fits into the second category, you need to think slowly to digest information without bias and leverage multitude of thought processes to think thoroughly. Critical Thinking needs to combine different thinking processes, to gather a mass of information, break it apart and reconstructed with a level of accuracy projecting futuristic events, numbers, etc. Breaking the routine forces Critical Thinking on a constant basis in order to act. Often, there are two extreme states of thinking: 1) thinking too much (even Critical Thinking is not just about overwhelming thinking chaos but about cohesive understanding and skillful reasoning) and 2) thinking too little. It would be good to think critically more often than we do concern our actions, If we don't, half of our life routine part becomes "unexamined" and unnoticed. If thoughtful reactions and pro-actions are key to sustainable relationships and innovations, maybe we would benefit from discovering what in our Critical Thinking moves us beyond thinking and into transformative action.
Can you handle the thinking pairs -Critical Thinking and Creative Thinking well? Critical Thinking and Creative Thinking are ideal "Thinking Pairs." Critical Thinking evolves deep thinking process usually with Creative Thinking embedded. So experience is inside the box, Critical Thinkers live out of the box. and it’s complex thought processes involving thinking differently, or thinking out of the box, it is about breaking the rules that have been created through experience. Critical thinking is essential for making decisions based on open up with diverse viewpoint, careful and comprehensive analysis and synthesis, and getting input from a broad range of personalities and cognitive difference of people on the particular matter. It could also include imaginative or resourceful thinking. The combination is truly powerful to conceptualize, communicate, develop and execute solutions, not just based on evidence, but on trends and discovery of hidden connections.
Would you always dig into the root causes of the problems? Critical Thinking is a crucial thought process to see underneath the symptoms and dig into root causes. Problem solvers who can leverage Critical Thinking are always chasing root cause. Critical thinking requires to starting with a mentally neutral position; no biases or emotional quandary. There are only a very small fraction of true critical thinkers who can always dig through the root causes of problems. Critical Thinking needs to combine different thinking processes, to gather a mass of information, break it apart and reconstructed with a level of accuracy, projecting futuristic events, numbers, etc., Critical thinking, like Systems Thinking, allows for more holistic thinking. Because we "steer away from “conventional wisdom,” question individual, collective, social assumptions and reframe the inquiry. There are two sides to this, at least in terms of our basic epistemic goals. One is getting to the truth, the other is avoiding falsehood. So Critical Thinking is associated with the metacognitive disciplines that steer one away from believing falsehoods, more so than steering one toward the truth.
