Modern society, especially Western, places a heavy emphasis on critical thinking skills. Though I can't imagine the great philosophers of the past not thinking in any other way but critically, I suppose there's an element of analysis and scientific-rigor to modern critical thinking which distinguishes it from the past. Or is there?
When is critical thinking cultivated? During high school or university?
