Aging In Montclair To Host Virtual Talk On ‘Critical Thinking’

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of Aging In Montclair. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site.

Join discussion leader Steve Marchetti as he delves into his favorite topic: critical thinking. Steve has 30 years of experience as a facilitator of peer groups and community building in many diverse settings, ranging from living rooms to maximum security prisons, from high schools to senior citizen residences.

According to Steve: “critical thinking is not directed toward conclusion, consensus or closure. It is not a debate to be won.”

The objective on Saturday will be to share our collective wisdom, knowledge and experience to widen and illuminate the subject. One of the following topics will be discussed: What is the value of solitude? How are solitude and loneliness different? How can we enjoy solitude in imposed isolation? What is enough and how do we know when we have it from hoarding to scarcity? Are we any different today than we were: yesterday or a year ago or in the 20th century?
