Thinking Critically About Quality Patrick Lou Kelly

This book is the glossary for Thinking Critically About Quality, published as a paperback in June of 2018.



This glossary contains the explanation of more than 200 constructs; commonly referred to as abstract nouns, concepts, ideas, or non-physical phenomena. The method and methodology for creating the constructs and the intension specification is described in detail in the paperback. I elected to create this glossary and publish it as a second book to avoid adding an excessive number of pages to the June manuscript.



Meaning is best comprehended in rich descriptions that I call conceptual thought patterns. Conceptual thought patterns form a structure of profound explanation to promote comprehension by connecting and combining concept definitions.



We need conceptual thought pattern dictionaries to capture and explain abstract nouns to take us to an explanatorily deeper level of meaning and thus think more critically.



Each construct is the result of an algorithm developed by the author.
