| Abstract: | Siegel already engaged actively with the motivation to think critically in the 1990s and provided valuable arguments for the importance not only of critical thinking abilities but also of "critical thinking dispositions", or what he later came to call "the critical spirit." 2 Harvey Siegel, I Educating Reason: Rationality, Critical Thinking, and Education i (New York: Routledge, 1988); and Harvey Siegel, I Rationality Redeemed? 4 In personal correspondence, Siegel has indicated that the label "epistemology of education" originated with his mentor Israel Scheffler, although Siegel himself has probably done more to establish and advance this nascent field than any other scholar.
