Thinking of these four skills as intersecting versus subsuming each other provides a practical way to understand the roles they may or may not play with regard to one another. For example, an intersection of critical thinking, collaboration, and communication could define the skills needed to participate in social reasoning while leaving room for individual critical-thinking skills outside this intersection. Similarly, an overlap between critical thinking and creativity could include creative activities relevant to reflective and scientific thought, such as conceiving hypotheses and experiments, while still leaving plenty of nonoverlapping space in the creativity circle for skills related to purely artistic endeavors.
A different, and more controversial, expanded framework has been developing as critical analysis gets applied to critical thinking itself. Advocates for this framework acknowledge the importance of the traditional critical-thinking practices such as logic and argumentation, which are associated with what is often called the critical thinking movement, but also see those practices as just one of several steps needed to truly function as a reasoning person.
A subsequent step, often referred to as critical pedagogy, owes a debt to modern philosophical movements such as postmodernism and deconstruction that, among other things, ask questions about what we can really know given the limitations of the tools at our disposal, especially language. For example, those associated with the critical thinking movement and those writing about critical pedagogy assign different meanings to the word “critical,” as Martin Davies and Ronald Barnett note in their introduction to the Palgrave Handbook of Critical Thinking in Higher Education:
