Presents a critical-creative appraisal of Harvey Siegel's proposed requirements for critical thinking in his "Rationality Redeemed!" writing from the perspective of Deweyan pragmatism. Discusses Siegel's stance on contextualism; examines where philosophical ideas permanently reside; discusses propositions, hypostatization, and the philosophic fallacy; and examines the rationality of reasonableness, begging the question of foundationalist rationality, and concealing context.
