>>>What is "critical thinking"? See Immanuel Kant, Kritik der
reinen Vernunft,
Kritik der praktischen Vernunft, Kritik der Urteilskraft.
Is this enough?<<<
You asserted, in the context of a discussion of Karma, that there
is no critical thinking in zen-buddhism. And that, from a
zen-buddhist perspective, things are the way they are, thus there
is no need for critical thought, particularly about matters of
ethics and social responsibility. So, I asked you what you meant
by 'critical thinking' to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding you.
And now I've said a little more about how I interpreted your words
so you can correct me if I am wrong.
