Mark Battersby and Sharon Bailin have created a blog to supplement their excellent textbook, Reason in the Balance. I have added it to the RAIL Resources page. You can also have a look at it here.
Reason in the Balance presents students with a novel, inquiry-based approach to critical thinking. If you haven’t had a chance to check out their textbook yet, it Battersby and Bailin’s treatment gathers and synthesizes much of the best recent material from across the different approaches in argumentation theory. It’s worth a look.
Dear Professor Bailin,
I am a grad student in Lifelong Learning at Mount Saint Vincent University. A colleague of mine and I are critiquing your chapter in “Key Questions for Educators” (2005) and we were wondering if you have written about critical thinking in connection to Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking fast and slow.” (2001)?
Thank you so much for your consideration of our question.
Warmest regards,
Ute & Terry
Hello,
I’m not Professor Bailin, but I can say that I too am interested in the intersection of the heuristics and biases program in psychology and critical thinking research across the disciplines. Professor Bailin and her colleague Mark Battersby talk a little about this in their textbook, Reasoning in the Balance (Hackett). It is more recent than the piece you mention. Perhaps it would make a good start to answering your question? Good luck!
