Kritinio Mąstymo Ugdymas – Ar Tai Naujoji Sofistika?
Critical Thinking Education – Is It a New Sophistic?

Summary/Abstract: Today, critical thinking is considered an unquestionable priority of higher education. The article draws attention to the fact that the very idea of critical thinking is vague and intrinsically contradictory, thus, it poses a certain risks. There is a tendency to standardize and technologize rationality, treating it in the cybernetic framework of information processing. In addition, quite evident is a tendency to reduce all contexts of thought to polemical contexts. The idea of critical thinking, lacking critical reflection, haphazardly leads to a narrow pragmatism, to the dominance of the anthrōpos metron principle in education.
