You might think that critical thinking is the kind of thing we all do, at least decently. But, as seems to be the case with common sense, it is not nearly as common as we think it is.

Critical thinking is the most sought after skill in both professional and academic domains. It is the foundation for navigating information, discerning reality from falsehood, and engaging meaningfully with the world to achieve our objectives. Its universal applicability improves everything we do, because everything we do is made better when we can think about it in a more effective way.

Despite its importance, critical thinking remains one of the least emphasized skills in both academic and professional training, and is often entirely lacking from the core curriculum in higher education and vocational programs. Existing approaches to teaching critical thinking (usually of the textbook variety) frequently focus on abstract concepts that never seem to connect with reality, “thinking harder,” or rote memorization of logical fallacies: none of which provide practical applications for solving real-world problems.

The Claim Shredder was designed to effectively tackle these challenges. It focuses on concrete, practical issues and provides a clear, step-by-step methodology for engaging with ideas. By deliberately avoiding jargon and unnecessary technical language, it ensures clarity and ease of communication. By offering a step-by-step methodology, it provides a clear and transparent path in tackling critical thinking in a way that is easily understood and verifiable. Crucially, the system is applicable across all fields, as it emphasizes proper thinking and reasoning, which are fundamental to all disciplines.

Claim Shredder has proven itself to be a great success in doing just that. On the corporate side, we have had successful adoptions by Fortune 500 Companies. On the academic front, Claim Shredder has been used in various settings: from private high schools to universities.

We are proud to present Claim Shredder, the premier source for practical critical thinking training and education.
