Kritičko mišljenje i bioetika

Abstract

Critical thinking is a concept under intense consideration. The importance of critical think-ing is emphasized in all parts of the system of science, with high hopes placed in it. On the other hand, and that represents the starting point of this work, any system that invokes critical thinking must be prepared to conduct significant structural changes if it wishes for a productive rather than decorative role of employed critical thinking. Therefore a development of a critical thinking concept will be briefly presented, starting from its beginnings in a form known as Socratic dialogue, all the way to modern definitions. This text tends to indicate compatibility between critical thinking and bioethics, presenting arguments for suitability, even more necessity, of critical thinking in bioethics as a system.
