Types of Thinking
- Different problems necessitate different kinds of thinking.
- People face various problems daily and address them in multiple ways.
- Types of thinking include mythical, scientific, critical, creative, and logical thinking.
Mythical Thinking
- It's based on denying science, rejecting scientific methods, and resorting to methods from before the age of science.
- Examples include beliefs about inverted shoes, cutting hair at night causing problems, not playing with scissors, black cats, and associating with certain clothes.
Scientific Thinking
- Scientific thinking uses organized thinking applicable in everyday situations, not just specialized scientific matters with technical terms.
Critical Thinking
- Critical thinking provides the tools to use doubt constructively for analysis.
- It aids in making better and more informed decisions about the truth, effectiveness, or productivity of something.
- Critical thinking involves carefully examining and evaluating beliefs and actions.
- It entails using standards like clarity, accuracy, and relevance.
- Critical thinking requires assessing evidence and considering different perspectives.
- It aims to distinguish between what is acceptable and unacceptable based on mental standards.
- Critical thinking is important in rethinking traditions such as child marriage and the dowry system.

- It involves creating unique and original solutions.
- Creative imaginations need raw materials to work with.
- The creative mind identifies possibilities or connections others may not see.
- Creative thinking is a path to scientific discovery, seeing what everyone sees and thinking what nobody has thought.
- It opposes copying or reproduction.
- Making the familiar strange is beneficial for creative thinkers.
- Familiarity can lead to a cessation of thought.
- Seeing things as strange, odd, or problematic can reignite the mind.
Logical Thinking
- This thinking is rooted in logic.
- It is based on inferring the validity of a specific judgment from other judgments.
- There are two types of Logical Thinking: Inductive and deductive reasoning.
- Deduction means applying a general rule to particular cases.
- Deduction is the reverse of induction, where induction moves from specifics to a generalization.
- Inductive reasoning plays a role in the scientific method.
- Scientists use inductive reasoning to develop hypotheses and theories.
- Deductive reasoning is used to apply theories to specific situations.
