Critical Thinking

The purpose of this investigation will be to assess how the House of Wisdom contributed to the preservation of knowledge. This question is important because it addresses the academic advances with the Islamic civilization that lead to new information. To determine the extent of the contribution to the preservation of knowledge, this investigation will examine the achievements al-Khawarizmi made in science and the achievements that were made in this library and how they were preserved through time. The area of research will be focused during the time of the Islamic Golden Age, 750-1258, and in the city of Baghdad, where the House of Wisdom flourished. A method that will be used during this investigation is the examination of

For Schleiermacher, in particular, and, additionally, the Islamic mystic Al-Ghazali, true religion was completely experiential and it should therefore be felt rather than thought. He believed that logic destroys religious experience because religious experience is a matter of intuitive knowledge, not processed knowledge. Intuition is belief, where as logic creates doubts. In many spiritual systems (religious or independent of religion) the human instinct is held in high regard. It was for this reason that Iqbal, the late Islamic philosopher of the modern era, disagreed with Al-Ghazali.

Simpson and Courtney (2002) state "an important step in problem solving and decision-making is the need to utilize critical-thinking abilities to reframe a problem or situation." Critical thinking involves questioning all the features of a situation and analyzing solutions.

The Purpose of this paper is to apply the 10 steps developed by (Browne & Keeley, 2010) and I will apply those methods on the following memo. A memo was drafted by Ms. Mary Ford (personal communication, January 30, 2012) who is Director of Amalgamated Public Employees Union (APEU) Local No. 121 to Mr. Hector Fuentes the President of APEU Local No. 121 on the issue on New Mexico State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Outsourcing, proposed by the New Mexico Governor Gloria Gainor.

In the book “Asking the Right Questions, A Guide to Critical Thinking” M. Neil Browne and Stuart M. Kelley discuss the ten steps to critical thinking. In the following pages I will apply these steps to a memo that was sent to Mr. Robert Shaw of Triad Insurance Company of Indianapolis and discuss them in detail. The memo was from Ms. Denise Khali, Vice President of Human Resources. D. Khali, personal communication, October 04, 2010.

Critical thinking is a process in which a person actively participates, and with skill comes to conclusions that are based on what a person has seen, experienced, and what one may believe.

Based on the document “The Islamic World” we are able to understand the driving question of “How did Islamic peoples transmit knowledge from the ancient world to influence modern intellectualism?” and how we might strive to answer it. In a time period called by the text “The Muslim world underwent an explosion of knowledge like the one that occurred in ancient Greece during its golden age (490–404 B.C.)” In this time period Arab scholars continued keep knowledge held by the greek classics alive, such as philosopher Aristotle.During the period from the 700s to the 900s, at a time when Western Europe was almost wholly ignorant of ancient Greece, writings by Aristotle and other Greeks on everything from medicine to magic were translated into

also explained how eyesight works in his Book of Optics. Another important muslim Al-Khwarizmi wrote an algebra textbook that was the standard for centuries . This goes to show you that in the Golden Age of Islam many important scientific advances were made.

A study conducted by Ach Khozin (2017) explained that Iqbal cries out loud for Muslims to rise from its legacy. Through his poetry and scientific work, he wanted to awaken the Muslim's life force to move on. In his poems, he encourages Muslims to flow-move and does not remain silent. Thus, the essence of life is motion, while the law of life create,

Al-Kindi, also known as the Philosopher of the Arabs, was born at Al Kufa (in modern Iraq) in the early years of the 9th century. Most of his life he lived in that region, at Basra, and, eventually, at Baghdad until he died in 873. He was a scholar who worked in Baghdad's House of Wisdom. He was interested in many subjects, including chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, music, philosophy and even psychology. And he has left us many great books in which he wrote down all he

Moreover, his works will be set in relation and compared to other Iranian artists who are addressing the notion

The concepts of critical thinking and creative thinking are both gaining increasing importance in the world today. Critical thinking allows people to understand difficult concepts in a manner that is clearer and more defined. They can more readily understand those concepts if they employ critical thinking. In all portions of everyday life, a person is expected to make independent judgments. Those judgments are based on experience and knowledge. Without the ability to think critically, every situation that a person comes across would have to be considered in isolation from all other situations. When a person encounters a problem that is a new one, he or she may be able to use critical thinking to solve those problems.

Synopsis: The purpose of the book is to focus on potential similarities found in epistemological hierarchies of Ibn al-ʿArabī (d. 1240) and Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328), and reflections of these similarities on their theologies. At the first part of the book, which comprises of two chapters, I examine revelation, the human intellect, and inspiration-unveiling as epistemological means used by both Ibn al-ʿArabī and Ibn Taymiyya. Both of them claim to have followed precisely the Quran and hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad when religious knowledge is in question. Unlike some philosophers and Kalam theologians, who may consider the human intellect valuable equally with the revelation, Ibn al-ʿArabī and Ibn Taymiyya affirm the highest status of the Quran and hadiths indisputably. Having confirmed the most elevated status of the revelation, namely the Quran and hadiths, they differ prominently. For Ibn al-ʿArabī the most reliable way of religious knowledge is unveiling while for Ibn Taymiyya, the human intellect must be given precedence over unveiling. Therefore, it can be said that the epistemological hierarchy of Ibn al-ʿArabī is constituted with the revelation,
