How to think critically

Critical thinking is a constant interaction with changing ideas and knowledge.

  1. First, the thinker considers the background knowledge of the idea and the sense of identity.
  2. Then the thinker can analyze it. The thinker has to see its parts, its form, its function, and its context.
  3. Then comes evaluating it by bringing your unique thinking to it so you can point out flaws, underscore bias, and empathize merit. It means getting inside the mind of the author, or creator, and critique his work.
