Based on Critical Thinking Concepts and Socratic Principles, Fifth Edition By Richard Paul and Linda Elder
The Art of Asking Essential Questions illuminates an underappreciated yet vital skill set that lies at the root of all learning and success.

Linda Elder and Richard Paul illustrate the elements of an effective question and discuss the differences between analytic and evaluative questions. They also show how questions can uncover and help us avoid dangerous egocentric and sociocentric tendencies.

Liberating the Mind
Overcoming Sociocentric Thought and Egocentric Tendencies By Linda Elder Foreword by Gerald Nosich
“Sociocentrism is a useful concept, embracing a host of ways in which we fail to give sufficient weight to the interests of those beyond the borders of our own group. I hope this book will stimulate readers to think critically about their sociocentric prejudices.” —Peter Singer, philosopher and author of Animal Liberation and Ethics into Action

Throughout history, thinkers within every part of society have been crippled by an ingrained bias toward their own views and the views of their preferred social groups. As these dangerous egocentric and sociocentric tendencies continue to pose the greatest threat to the advancement of rational societies, Liberating the Mind reveals a way forward. Dissecting the core of how humans naturally learn, think, and choose to act, internationally recognized critical thinking leader Linda Elder illuminates root causes of dysfunctional thought and shows us how to free ourselves from both selfishness and groupthink through explicit tools of rationality. This instant intellectual classic offers a cohesive, integrated theory of mind that takes into account pathological tendencies shared by all humans, while offering a clear path toward the cultivation of fairminded critical thinking throughout the world. Elder illuminates how, by taking the intrinsic problems in our thinking seriously, we can follow the example of Socrates and live the examined life, even in times of upheaval and doubt.
