Critical thinking implies an approach toward reality capable of discerning and evaluating its factors supposedly fostering free and pro-active attitudes. However, “critical thinking” is in itself ambiguous. Firstly, being “philosophically critical” means a radical unhypothetical way of conceiving thought; secondly, it refers to techniques allowing validity, correctness and reliability of thinking process. Thus, philosophy risks to be reduced to a procedural know-how. This essay aims at broadening the conception of critical thinking by offering a complex model where operativeness becomes part of vital open dialogue among subjects within a common relation to truth as criterion and fabric of any communication.
