What is NOT Critical Thinking?

Why Critical Thinking?
![Page 6: The Art of Critical thinking](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061206/548200395906b5c9048b45f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Rational-Logical Method of Problem Solving
Present speed of an object = u
How do you know the future speed ‘v’ after ‘t’ seconds, if the speed changes by an amount of ‘a’ units after each second?
Speed at the end of 1 second = u+a
Speed at the end of 2 seconds = u+a+a = u+2a
Speed at the end of 3 seconds = u+a+a+a = u+3a
Speed at the end of t seconds = u+a+a+a+ …….+a = u+ta
The general formula is: v=u+at
How would a ‘creative thinker’ tackle this same problem?

Dialectical Reasoning as a Critical Thinking Style
Thesis: Individuals are self-centered isolated animals
Antithesis: Individuals are other-centered social animals
Synthesis: Other-centeredness and Self-centeredness are not opposite concepts, at a higher level.

Finally, the difference between ‘critical’ thinking and ‘creative’ thinking is:
“You can know how much your girlfriend weighs, by:
Asking her to stand on a weighing balance
Carrying her by your arms and holding
And, this is a gross over-simplification!!
