The Classical Thinking Skills Program: Why the Study of Latin & Math are the Best Way to Train Your Mind – Audio Download

Description

How were “thinking skills” taught before people started talking about them? The classical liberal arts of formal grammar and mathematics were once the underpinnings for critical thinking skills. What is it about the study of an inflected foreign language, along with arithmetic, algebra and geometry, that makes them the thinkings skills par excellence? Martin Cothran, editor of Classical Teacher magazine, will outline the structure of a classical thinking skills program and will also explain why modern educators have rendered themselves incapable of even defining what critical thinking skills are.
