PHL 458 UOP Course Tutorial PHL 458 Week 1 DQ 1 PHL 458 Week 1 DQ 2 • Neurophysiologist research suggests that human thinking has two distinct phases which are complementary in making decisions or solving problems. The first, or production phase, is associated with our creative thinking- seeing the familiar in a novel way, generating a variety of ideas, • Debating moral questions is important as we seek to solve problems or face complex issues in life. Our text mentions four working principles, as we evaluate the obligations, ideals, consequences and circumstances in a situation (Ruggiero, 2009, pp. 41-42). [Chapter 2: “The Basis of Moral Judgment”]

  3. PHL 458 UOP Course Tutorial PHL 458 Week 1 DQ 3 PHL 458 Week 1 Individual Assignment Critical Thinking • Some of the most innovative people were branded by their contemporaries as slow learners (Winston Churchill), clumsy (Martha Graham), stupid (Thomas Edison), or unimpressive (Albert Einstein). Yet these individuals persisted in developing their creative and critical thinking abilities, refusing to define themselves by other people’s assessments. • Present on each of the following topics with a slide or two/bullet: • Describe a situation in which critical and creative thought could have been used for a better outcome. This could be a personal or societal problem or issue. Describe why it is important to think critically and creatively in similar situations (2 slides).

PHL 458 UOP Course Tutorial PHL 458 Week 2 DQ 1 PHL 458 Week 2 DQ 2 • Week 2 DQ 1 • Looking over a list of the world’s inventions is in itself a good reminder that we each “stand on the shoulders” of those who have gone before us. It also brings to mind the fact that we take a lot for granted. Doing this exercise we may even come to think that all the world’s inventions are already here and in use. • This Discussion Question will invite each of us to “borrow” from a Famous Thinker. Select any ONE Thinker from our Electronic Reserve Readings list who effected social change. Read the article(s) for that Thinker, and in a Post of 250 to 300 words, respond to the following questions:

PHL 458 UOP Course Tutorial PHL 458 Week 2 DQ 3 PHL 458 Week 2 Individual Assignment Solve a Problem • This Discussion Question will invite each of us to do a Controversial Issues Brainstorming session. Note that our text makes a key distinction between a problem and an issue, both of which call us to use our creative and critical thinking skills, to come up with innovative solutions or novel approaches. Inventors and scientists focus more on problems, while politicians, parents and leaders address human issues. • Create a Solution Journal in which you use the creative process to solve a problem with which you have experience. Include the following: • Describe each stage in the creative process using Ch. 5 of your text (Entry 1).

  6. PHL 458 UOP Course Tutorial PHL 458 Week 3 DQ 1 PHL 458 Week 3 DQ 2 • Each of us makes assumptions continually in a typical day, and many of them are hidden. Clearly this is an important potential obstacle of clear or critical thinking. Stephen Covey recognized this when he said, “We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these” (ThinkExist.com). • Chapter 11 in our text is about solving problems we encounter in our personal, professional or vocational lives. Most of us can call up a problem that can be worked on from either of these domains, fairly easy. Practice in problem-solving is also a major goal of this course.

  7. PHL 458 UOP Course Tutorial PHL 458 Week 3 DQ 3 PHL 458 Week 3 Individual Assignment Refining Solutions • Chapter 12 in our text helps us critically think through arguments and issues we may face in our lives. Errors may affect the truth of the issue, they may affect the validity of a premise or conclusion, or a hidden premise that may side-track a solution. Dealing with simple or complex arguments takes practice. • Most great solutions to problems begin with some initial flaws. Quality solutions arise by refining ideas. Refine your solution to the problem defined in your Week Two Individual Assignment by following the Three Steps in Refining process outlined in Ch. 10 and Ch. 11 of your text.

You may want to refer to a website which explores many of these methods or techniques used in business or problem-solving to address complex issues or problems (www.mindtools.com). • .1 The history of philosophy is full of minor and major philosophers who have used deductive logic to address the tough perennial questions of life related to metaphysics (what is real), epistemology (what is true), and ethics (what is the good life).
