Abstract
At the outset I wish to acknowledge that the argument employed in this paper is derived from The Idea of a Social Science by Peter Winch. Extensions relate to what I believe is the significance of the argument for critical thinking and teaching critical thinking. I shall set forth the argument and its significance as answers to the following questions:
- What does it mean to say that one follows a rule?
- What does it mean to say that one knows a rule?
- What is the context for critical thinking?
- What are some criteria of critical thinking?
- What might we do in teaching critical thinking?
The author of this article, Dr. George S. Maccia, is a member of the Ohio State University faculty and a past preSident of the Ohio Valley Philosophy of Education Society. His article within was originally presented before the Society.
