Answer to Question 1

The ability to reflect on one's life and one's self is a distinctly human ability. Philosophy provides us with the intellectual tools to reflect with clarity and discipline, to critically evaluate the choices we have made, and to use this knowledge to make more enlightened choices in the future.
 Thinking philosophically means thinking critically about your beliefs to ensure that they are the most accurate and enlightened beliefs possible.
 Critical thinkers are open-minded, knowledgeable, mentally active, curious, independent thinkers, skilled discussants, insightful, self-aware, creative, and passionate.

Answer to Question 2

- Critical thinking is approaching life in an informed and reflective way.

- William Perry's three stages of critical thinking include The Garden of Eden, Anything Goes, and Thinking Critically
