Thinking is a mental process that involves processing information to generate thoughts, reasoning, make decisions, and solve problems. It is a comprehensive process that includes various aspects such as perception, memory, logical reasoning, creativity, and the ability to make interferences. Thinking can take various forms, including analytical thinking, abstract thinking, critical thinking, creative thinking, and many others.
Philosophical thinking is a particular form of thinking that focuses on analyzing fundamental questions regarding existence, reality, values, knowledge, ethics, and other important issues. This type of thinking often has an abstract character, requires deep reflection, and is aimed at developing general theories and concepts. Philosophers try to understand the essence of reality and our place in it, questioning common beliefs and searching for deeper truth. This specific approach to thinking contributes to the development of intellectual flexibility and critical thinking skills.
Philosophical knowledge is often considered detached from reality, useless in everyday life. However, some of its elements may prove be useful in various professions. Philosophy teaches us to reflect on reflection itself, to understand complex problems, and to develop thinking skills that are applicable in various areas of professional life. A philosophical approach to thinking can contribute to a flexible attitude to problems solving and the ability to adapt in various situations. Therefore, some elements of philosophical knowledge and philosophical thinking can be successfully applied in public administration.
