Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to
reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. People who think
critically consistently attempt to live rationally, reasonably, empathically.
They are keenly aware of the inherently flawed nature of human thinking when
left unchecked. They strive to diminish the power of their egocentric and
sociocentric tendencies. They use the intellectual tools that critical thinking
offers . concepts and principles that enable them to analyze, assess, and
improve thinking. They work diligently to develop the intellectual virtues of
intellectual integrity, intellectual humility, intellectual civility,
intellectual empathy, intellectual sense of justice and confidence in reason.
They realize that no matter how skilled they are as thinkers, they can always
improve their reasoning abilities and they will at times fall prey to mistakes
in reasoning, human irrationality, prejudices, biases, distortions, uncritically
accepted social rules and taboos, self-interest, and vested interest. They strive
to improve the world in whatever ways they can and contribute to a more rational,
civilized society. At the same time, they recognize the complexities often inherent
in doing so. They avoid thinking simplistically about complicated issues and strive
to appropriately consider the rights and needs of relevant others. They recognize
the complexities in developing as thinkers, and commit themselves to life-long
practice toward self-improvement. They embody the Socratic principle:
The unexamined life is not worth living, because they realize that many unexamined
lives together result in an uncritical, unjust, dangerous world.
