What is Critical Thinking?

I have often read the definition of critical thinking as “the art of being right.” But in this fuzzy world of perspectives and paradox, I think a classical bivalent approach misses the mark.
I don’t know a really useful definition of critical thinking. But I define it for my students as our internal process that increases our appreciation and awareness of the places of uncertainty.
Critical thinking examines the “what if’s” in a short concise manner and answers them accordingly. It is an art of staying ahead of the next question and or situation.
