'''Critical thinking''' is an approach to gathering data and making inferences about the world. It draws heavily on ideas from the [[scientific revolution]] and advocates an approach of data acquisition and [[rationality|rational]] assessment. When applying critical thinking, the goal is to collect as much relevant [[data]] as possible, assess that data for accuracy, and finally use the data to arrive at the most justified conclusions possible.
