Publisher's Synopsis
"Utterance and Development is a remarkable book that holds the key to transforming our society through the essential basis of thinking. ..."
Our society is in lack of knowledge for its own existence. This practical oriented "first principles"-thinking is needed in a time with great challenges, where stupidness is everywhere, from the world leaders-level, to the tyrants in the classrooms.Based on ancient Greek thinking from democratic time, the book presents the first principles for knowledgebuilding to improve thinking, for teaching, business, politics and democracy; a tool for school, universities, and for society in general. Improvement and development is about having an understanding of communication, cooperation, science, and a knowledgeseeking attitude. Development is dependent on a relatively high dialectic frequence, an effect of reason and free speech. The thinking has a preventive effect on harassment, and "silencing power." The book also shows how "fixed thoughts" and ideologization damages thinking and reason. 5.0 out of 5 stars

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 16. Oktober 2023
"I liked 1) the concentrated presentation of dialectic thinking in and on reality. 2) the clear structure of the booklet in four parts and its pedagogic quality. 3) the authors explanation his emphasizing of the 'first principle' (on side 14 and in chapter 3). 4) the elegant demonstration of the connection between nowadays dialectics with their roots in ancient Greece more than 2300 years ago. 5) The mainly short sentences make it easy to read and improve learning of the dialectic technique and the logic in it, by easily being able to repeat content of importance for understanding and applying it by yourself."
