The Philosophizers is an open minded blog site that dares to say what many are thinking and will not say; find timeless, relevant insight on a variety of human issues; one topic many point of views!

Articles are designed to provoke thought, conversation and debate; forcing one to re-evaluate one’s own beliefs: Human issues, the meaning of life, social issues, moral and ethical dilemmas, questions about the world, our existence and all the possibilities that lies therein. We also have articles to entertain, enlighten and educate; JOIN THE CONVERSATION! Teach what you know and learn what you don’t; stay open to all.” – Antoinette Forsythe

Antoinette Forsythe aka The Philosophizer

I am described as a cultivated critical thinker; an analyst with great foresight. I am not looking for readers to agree with my points of view, in fact, I desire the opposite; feedback and comments that bring something new to the discussion; not your typical responses. I love reading comments that make may me rethink my stand point; I LOVE to learn, so if you tell something that I do not already know, that will truly make my day!

DARING to think outside the box, BOLD enough to speak my mind, STRONG enough to stand alone, BRAVE enough to be the first, BLESSED with the gift of foresight, WISE enough to be open; I dare to be me!

May God Bless You and THANK YOU in advance for contributing to this forum of open minded discussions.

*Definitions / Define / Meanings

Thinking outside the box is to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel, creative and smart thinking; moving away from the cliche.

Open Minded – Having a mind that is open to new ideas; free from prejudice or bias.

Foresight – 1. ability to think ahead: the ability to envision possible future problems or obstacles. 2. premonition: an act or instance of knowing something beforehand

Criticism, Analysis, Critical Thinking – (1) Criticism is the judgement (using analysis and evaluation) of the merits and faults of the actions or work of another individual. Criticism can mean merely to evaluate without necessarily finding fault; however, usually the word implies the expression of disapproval. (2) Analysis is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of it. (3) Critical thinking can occur whenever one judges, decides, or solves a problem; in general, whenever one must figure out what to believe or what to do, and do so in a reasonable and reflective way. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening can all be done critically or uncritically. Critical thinking is crucial to becoming a close reader and a substantive writer. Expressed most generally, critical thinking is “a way of taking up the problems of life.”Irrespective of the sphere of thought, “a well cultivated critical thinker”:

• raises important questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;
• gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively
• comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
• thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and
• communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems; without being unduly influenced by others’ thinking on the topic.
