Hello all,

Just following up. Had a brief e-mail exchange with David Chalmers over the past week or so and there is now a "Critical Thinking" area at PhilPapers: http://philpapers.org/browse/critical-thinking/. I've accepted their offer to edit the category. 

I'll get started developing the category tomorrow (writing the basic description, going through the papers that are already classified there, etc.) tomorrow. Just wanted to pass along the good news.

Hopefully this takes us towards next steps for getting CT recognized as an AOS/AOC? 

All best,

Steve
