I like Steveıs suggestion for a subcategory of Critical Thinking to be
added under Critical Reasoning in PhilPapers. That sounds like a handy way
to start marking out a field of specialization. Plus those of us who
teaching critical thinking classes year in and year out may find it a bit
easier to locate relevant research.
Who do we need to ³petition² to make the addition?
