But you're thinking doesn't happen in a vacuum. If you grow up in a Marxist society, "critical thinking" means applying critical theory and a framework of class conflict to new problems.
In traditional east Asia, critical thinking might mean reflecting on a problem through a Confucianist or Taoist lens.
In the West, critical thinking means approaching problems through natural philosophy and the scientific method.
- rizzom5000 3y agoThat's not how I define critical thinking at all. Blind adherence to Marxism, Taoism or any other ideology is the antithesis of critical thinking. Science is not like these things, and I believe that Marxists and Taoists would also consider science as separate from the ideologies they espouse. I honestly don't know how someone could be simultaneously scientifically illiterate and capable of critical thinking.
