ON VARIOUS KIND OF THINKING

JAMES HARVEY ROBINSON

“We do not think enough about thinking, and much of our confusion is the result
of current illusion in regard to it.”

 REVERIE (1ST Kind of thinking)

This kind of thinking is our spontaneous and favorite kind of
thinking.
 (2nd kind of thinking)
We have to make a practical decision.
 (3rd kind of thinking)
Stimulated when any questions or beliefs and opinions.
 (4th Kind of Thinking)
“REASON” Thought that has raised man from his pristine,
sub savage ignorance and squalor to the degree of knowledge
and comfort in which he possesses.
“CREATIVE THOUGHT”- VEBLEN

Situation: I remember a year ago attending public dinner to which the

governor of the state was bidden. The chairman explained that his
Excellency could not be present to certain “good” reasons; what the “real”
reasons presiding officers said we would leave as to conjecture.

 Good reasons- Rationalizing.

 Real Reason- for our beliefs are concealed from ourselves as well as
to others. As we grow up we simply adopt the ideas presented to us
in regards to such matter as religion, family, relationship, property
business, our country and state.
