An invitation to the habits of good Thinking from philosopher Julian Baggini.
More than a book of tips and tricks (or ways to be insufferably clever at parties), How to Think Like a Philosopher is an invitation to develop the habits of good reasoning that our world desperately needs..
Each chapter is chockful of real-world examples showing these Principles at work--from the discovery of penicillin to the fight for trans rights--and how they lead to More thoughtful conclusions.
Baggini offers Twelve key Principles for a More humane, balanced, and Rational approach to thinking: pay attention; question everything (including your questions); watch your steps; follow the facts; watch your language; be eclectic; be a psychologist; know what matters; lose your ego; Think for yourself, not by yourself; only connect; and don\'t give up.
But how should we respond instead? In How to Think Like a Philosopher , Julian Baggini turns to the study of reason itself for practical solutions to this question, inspired by our most eminent philosophers, past and present.
By now, it should be clear: in the face of disinformation and disaster, we cannot hot take, life hack, or meme our way to a better future.
