Lots of funny stuff here:
- Rorty and Foucault foster total incoherence, – get the “right” answers or fail the crit thinking course,
- say nothing at great length (hey, that’s Obama’s strategy),
- dreadful academic courses,….

If critical thinking retains any serious meaning, isn’t it pretty much “reason” or “application of logic?”

The effort to think things through and come up with better arguments than those presently available.

The gender of an equation, indeed.
