A discussion of the book How to Think by Alan Jacobs
How to Think by Alan Jacobs is a book in which Alan thinks about thinking. What is thinking? How do we do it well? And where does it go wrong?
The book looks at how we classify people and ideas, and how those classifications shape how we think; It looks at the words and metaphors we use, and how they too shape the way we think; It looks at the limitations of our thinking, and the hopes we have for improving our ability to think - hard as that might be. And finally, it looks at the pleasures and dangers of thinking.
Hosted by Peter Banda & James de Klerk
