Thinking as a Science

"Thinking as a Science" by Henry Hazlitt, zeroes in on the idea that many people do not think critically. Hazlitt brings up the idea that thoughtful analysis is often ignored in favor of fast fixes. In the beginning, Hazlitt explains his main point: lots of people say they think hard about problems, but they fail to use the systematic approach to really get it. He points out how people rush to read for answers without actually thinking things through. He really wants to look at thinking more closely so that we understand how to think in a way that’s both critical and innovative. Hazlitt critiques peoples desire for the easy way out and instead, suggests actually thinking.
