Abstract:

This book clarifies the idea of critical thinking by investigating the
'critical' practices of academics across a range of disciplines. Drawing on
key theorists - Wittgenstein, Geertz, Williams, Halliday - and using a
'textographic' approach, the book explores how the concept of critical
thinking is understood by academics and also how it is constructed
discursively in the texts and practices they employ in their teaching.

Critical thinking is one of the most widely discussed concepts in debates on
university learning. For many, the idea of teaching students to be critical
thinkers characterizes more than anything else the overriding purpose of
'higher education'. But whilst there is general agreement about its importance
as an educational ideal, there is surprisingly little agreement about what the
concept means exactly. Also at issue is how and what students need to be
taught in order to be properly critical in their field. This searching
monograph seeks answers to these important questions.
