Dr. Fetzer, I have asked before and I'll ask again (in the greater context of critical thinking) if you might perhaps post (in an appropriate thread elsewhere here) what you consider to be the finest sources of autodidactic learning about critical thinking that those of us who are beginners, or who are up in the cheap seats, can access online or in libraries or bookstores like Amazon, about the process and sub-tasks of critical discernment.
Please don't assume that means I am taking sides in this or some other debate, or that I write now with tongue either in cheek or barbed or forked.
Such a request might also be extended to all other active contributors to DPF.
