(Ep. 7) Information in Relationship with Intellectual Standards and the Other Elements of Reasoning 

This is the seventh episode of Critical Thinking: Going Deeper, which was long only available to members of The Center for Critical Thinking Community Online (community.criticalthinking.org).
One Element of Thought is information, which consists of facts, figures, or data from which conclusions can be inferred, or upon which interpretations or theories can be based. In this episode, Drs. Linda Elder and Gerald Nosich discuss the ways in which information interfaces with the other Elements of Thought as well as with Universal Intellectual Standards like clarity, accuracy, precision, and so on.
This podcast touches on one or a few aspect(s) of an overarching body of theory known as the Paul-Elder Framework for Critical Thinking, and its content must be understood in the broader context of this framework. You can become more familiar with our approach to critical thinking through other videos on this channel, and through our websites (see below).
