This is the seventh episode of Critical Thinking: Going Deeper, which was long only available to members of The Center for Critical Thinking Community Online (community.criticalthinking.org).

In this episode, Drs. Linda Elder and Gerald Nosich discuss information in relationship with Intellectual Standards and the other Elements of Reasoning.

Elements of reasoning (AKA parts of thought, structures of thinking, etc.) are the eight parts of thinking embedded or pre-supposed in all reasoning. They include purposes, questions, information, inferences, assumptions, concepts, implications, and points of view.

Intellectual standards are standards which must be applied to thinking whenever one is interested in checking the quality of reasoning about a problem, issue, or situation. To think critically entails having command of these standards. Some of the most important intellectual standards include clarity, accuracy precision, depth, breadth, fairness, relevance, significance, and logicality.
