This small monograph is aimed at a balanced and hilostic expositionof thinking. Apart from scrutinising and explaining the relation of thinking toknowledge, this monograph also demonstrates that, should one subscribe to sucha fomulation, one would then not have to prefer thinking to such a exclusion ofmemorisation, on the one hand, and similarly, one would not then have to facethe dilemma of siding with creative thinking at the cost of marginalising thecritical one, on the other hand. In short, just as memorising is anindispensable, necessary condition in thinking, so is logic related tocreativity as modes (or aspects) of thinking. The monograph also seek to showthat in both mental acts––memorisation as well as thinking, wheather criticalor creative––imagination plays a great, instrumental role.
