After looking at the Critical Thinking requirement in the Core Handbook and considering it alongside what Scheuer/Ungar have to say about critical thinking/inquiry I can see that they all have a similar viewpoint; liberal arts and critical thinking fall hand in hand. In the handbook it states that critical thinking aids a students in being able to solve “problems confronting professionals in that field.” In Scheuer’s article it is said ” And yet, like the liberal arts and citizenship, critical thinking isn’t monolithic or easy to describe. An initial definition might begin like this: whereas philosophy is about thought in general, critical thinking is about my thinking or yours or someone else’s in the here and now.” this is just like liberal arts, it is a complex idea that isn’t easy to describe and you need critical thinking in order to be in the liberal arts.
