Critical thinking in the 21st century: the lesson by J. Rancière

Abstract

This article aims to explore Rancière’s thesis that raises the inversion of traditional critical theory and therefore critical thinking. For this he analyzes the four arguments elaborated by the philosopher, and points out the need to propose another form of critical thinking away from the model of the logic of denunciation and the incapacity and ignorance of the masses. Finally we reflect on some of the political consequences of practicing this renewed way of thinking critically.

Keywords
