Critical Thinking and the Subject of Inquiry: Capacities, Resilience, and Power (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798295529979)

This book redefines critical thinking. It is not a one-off skill. It requires the ongoing work of subjectivity and subjective activation-the capacities to make meaning, to judge, and to stand one's ground in the face of pressures arising on all sides. This book explains why, without subjectivity, our ability to think critically collapses. It shows how to cultivate the capacities and resilience that keep subjective inquiry alive when it counts, helping teachers, learners, and trainers build the internal and inter-personal capacities that make critical thought possible.
