User:Xenotaur/The Philosopher's Glove

The Philosopher's Glove is a mnemonic to aid critical thinking about a problem. It has six elements, one for each finger and one for the palm:

 Pinkie: Doubt - Begin by questioning whether what is asserted is really true. Annular: Fact - Once you are left with true statements, try to identify the nature of the problem. Middle: Cause - Why is this happening? Index: Morality - Don't take the analysis to excess Thumb: Study - Any good books on the subject? Palm: Reality - Slap face with palm to reestablish contact with reality  http://www.inquisition.ca/en/philo/artic/gant_philo.htm
