[MD] critical thinking

[MarshaV]

Hi dmb,   


Marsha:
I find this quote interesting:    

"Critical thinking...the awakening of the intellect to the study of itself. 

"Critical thinking is a rich concept that has been developing throughout the past 2500 years.  The term "critical thinking" has its roots in the mid-late 20th century.  We offer here overlapping definitions, together which form a substantive, transdisciplinary conception of critical thinking."

"...When grounded in selfish motives, it is often manifested in the skillful manipulation of ideas in service of one’s own, or one's groups’, vested interest. As such it is typically intellectually flawed, however pragmatically successful it might be."
