The Italian author Giovanni Gentile (1875-1944) occupied a radical position among philosophers of the first half of the twentieth century. He tried in earnest to revolutionize idealist theory, developing a doctrine that retained the idealist conception of the thinking subject as the centre and source of any intelligible reality, while eschewing many of the unwarranted abstractions that had pervaded earlier varieties of idealism and led their adherents astray.Given his great prominence durin

This study had two objectives. The first objective was to investigate whether or not local and international school students in Hong Kong have different thinking styles. The second objective was to examine the predictive power of socialization variables for thinking styles among students in secondary schools. Three hundred and two students from three schools in Hong Kong responded to the Thinking Styles Inventory – Revised II based on Sternberg's theory of mental style government, and a survey on two groups of socialization variables: student characteristic and school environment. The student characteristic variables included personological and situational variables, while the school environmental variables included in-class experience and assessment-related variables. Results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in thinking styles between local and international school students in Hong Kong. Results also indicated that the subgroup of in-class experience was the most powerful in predicting thinking styles at the international school, the subgroup of assessment-related variables was the most powerful in predicting thinking styles at the traditional local school, and the subgroup of personological characteristics was the most powerful in predicting thinking styles at the direct subsidy scheme local school. Implications of the findings are discussed for parents, teachers, school administrators and policy makers. ; published_or_final_version ; Education ; Master ; Master of Education

In een wereld die ons confronteert met steeds complexere problemen, maakt de kwaliteit van ons denken het verschil. Individuen, samenlevingen en culturen staan voor de uitdaging om manieren van denken te ontwikkelen die vooruitziender en inzichtelijker zijn dan wat binnen de normale verwachtingen ligt. En om daarvan de nieuwe norm te maken. We moeten leren hoe we buitengewone intelligentie kunnen mobiliseren en toepassen, een denken dat voortdurend de eigen grenzen overschrijdt.00De nieuwe 'School of Thinking' aan de VUB is een experimenteel programma dat als missie heeft om mensen uit te dagen precies dat na te streven. Deze opleiding ontwikkelt een innovatieve combinatie van activerende methodes en cognitieve strategieën, praktijken en gewoontes, die eigen zijn aan uitzonderlijke denkers. Dit boek nodigt het publiek uit om de studenten van de 'School of Thinking' te vergezellen in hun avontuur. De lezer vindt in deze publicatie een brede waaier aan interdisciplinair onderzoek en discussies die plaatsvonden binnen de opleiding. Hierdoor biedt het boek een unieke inkijk in een springlevend academisch project, waarbij de 'Sapiens' in 'Homo Sapiens' bloedserieus wordt genomen

Mark Sainsbury presents an original account of how language works when describing mental states, based on a new theory of what is involved in attributing attitudes like thinking, hoping, and wanting. He offers solutions to longstanding puzzles about how we can direct our thought to such a diversity of things, including things that do not exist.

In this work the author, a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his seminal work in psychology that challenged the rational model of judgment and decision making, has brought together his many years of research and thinking in one book. He explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. He exposes the extraordinary capabilities, and also the faults and biases, of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behavior. He reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives, and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. This author's work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this book, he takes us on a tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and the way we make choices
