The Paul-Elder Framework

The Paul-Elder Framework is a tool to improve thinking and decision-making. It encourages us to analyze our thoughts by asking questions about purpose, evidence, assumptions, perspectives, and implications. It helps identify biases and deepen understanding, leading to more informed and rational conclusions. Essentially, it guides us systematically through examining how we think, ensuring our reasoning is clear, fair, and well-founded. This approach applies to everyday decisions and complex problems alike, fostering critical thinking and better judgment in various areas of life.
