These include the philosophy of mind, free will and determinism, rationality, the nature of the self and subjectivity, and ethics and religion.

But what, exactly, is critical thinking? Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science.

But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

Yet it was the clinker that afforded us access to the oceans, and its construction has become a lost art that calls to the do-it-yourselfer in all of us. John Gornall heard the call. A thoroughly unskilled modern man, Gornall set out to build a traditional wooden boat as a gift for his newborn daughter. It was, he recognized, a ridiculously quixotic challenge for a man who knew little about woodworking and even less about boat building.

And yet the true significance of this iconic episode remains unrecognised.
