Thinking is the way we penetrate things and expand understanding. It’s the way we keep ourselves from existing only on the surface of things. Thinking turns information into knowledge and knowledge into wisdom.
Thinking is communicated through language. This is why education should be seen primarily as the teaching of languages: mathematical, spoken, written, visual, musical and the language of the body. Learning to think critically is essential. Since we have access to such extensive knowledge, it’s not so much the information given but how well we learn to digest and use that information.
The world moves forward when free and critical thinkers exchange their ideas freely and critically.
