The Ways We Think critiques predominant approaches to the development of thinking in education and seeks to offer a new account of thought informed by phenomenology, post-structuralism and the ‘ordinary language’ philosophical traditions.

• Presents an original account of thinking for education and explores how this alternative conception of thought might be translated into the classroom
• Explores connections between phenomenology, post-structuralism and ordinary language philosophical traditions
• Examines the relevance of language in accounts of how we think
• Investigates the philosophical accounts of Gilbert Ryle, Martin Heidegger, John Austin and Jacques Derrida
• Draws upon experience of own teaching practice as philosopher-in-residence
