I think most humanity studies develop critical thinking, but at very shallow level.
Mathematicians have to nest 100s levels of logical operations to get proof they want. Programming around 50 to 10 logical operations. Lawyers perhaps 10. Literature nests perhaps 5 levels of logical operations.
There is simply no apparatus to manage this level of complexity in human language. Just try to describe 3th level integral or matrix operations with pure words. It is like analyzing complex program on TI programmable calculator with 5 line display.
And I think English is not very logic friendly language, too many double meanings and context sensitivity. I like German for its logic and Esperanto for its simplicity.
