Dialogue Skills

Critical Thinking

Processing, analyzing and evaluating information that is received, asking questions about it, with the goal of maximized learning. To raise one’s unconscious presuppositions to the conscious level and after reflection make a reasoned judgement about our presuppositions. It involves thinking analytically and synthetically to understand very precisely each word and phrase so that our deliberations and discussions are informed with clarity and grounded in reality. It is necessary to recognize that our view of reality is one view, shaped by our experiences, becoming aware of multiple worldviews and that each worldview is a new meaning network.
