Between Critical Thinking and Literary Critical Thinking is, basically, a demonstration of the fact that critical thinking, as it has come to be defined and interpreted in the Anglo-American cultural space, is almost completely different from literary critical thinking, with which, as a matter of fact, it often finds itself in contradiction. To uphold this thesis, the volume is organized in sections that are meant to coherently defend this demonstration. Each section is developed somewaht independently, autonomously, with idividual bibliographies, in order to allow an eclectic sort of reading during which the succession of chapters should not necessarily require a relationship of interdependence-otherwise implicit.
