Since 1980, the Foundation for Critical Thinking, along with its sister institution, the Center for Critical Thinking, has been advancing a robust, integrated, ethical concept of critical thinking. The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, promotes essential change in education and throughout society by cultivating fairmindedness, intellectual empathy, intellectual humility, intellectual perseverance, intellectual integrity, and confidence in reason as core virtues of objective critical persons and of principled critical societies.
Critical thinking is essential to disciplined freedom of thought and to functioning, efficacious, just democracies; it is required if we are to overcome the enormous challenges now pressing down upon us as human beings.
