Some thoughts to contemplate...
“I think, therefore I am."
Rene Descartes
Thinking: inside the box. Critical thinking: outside the box. Refractive thinking: build a new box.
(Tweet: June 25, 2009).
It seems that we as a society seem to find ourselves between the dichotomies of either thinking within the box (thinking) or critically thinking outside of the box (open box) (critical thinking). I am introducing them to the concept of refractive thinking - building a new box entirely.
