The short description of the topic is too broad. It does not differentiate what is noteworthy or distinctive about "critical thinking". Too general. Needs a wiser editor than me. Pete unseth (talk) 02:11, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
I see what you're saying. A thoroughly irrational person could 'analyze facts to form a judgement' that is entirely irrational. What would you think of changing it to read "logically analyzing facts to form a judgement"? I'm struggling to think of a better way of putting it, and critical thinking does, indeed, require logic. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.16:31, 5 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Since this is discussing a translation, the critical in the first recorded use of "critical thinking" quite possibly refers to textual criticism — the translator has made good choices about which readings to pick. However, the source we cite doesn't pick up on this, and just says it's probably something like literary criticism. So, that's a shame. Maybe one day we can find another source that opines on it. Also, I haven't read the source the use of the term is in (Busby something or other). Dingolover6969 (talk) 08:52, 19 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
