Abstract

The cumulative works of critical scholars’ date back to centuries ago. Scholars have either added to the body of knowledge or modified the existing theories, concepts or constructs. Contrary to their willingness to contribute, they cannot ignore the existing body of knowledge, but rather they should be able to expand the area of scholarship and free inquiry. This study has investigated the critical scholar from the point of view of critical thinking, in which the man’s clear and rational thinking about actions and beliefs is taken into account. Also, critical reading where language is analysed against its textual value, and critical listening in which through suspending judgement in audience, an important obstacle in human communication diminishes, have been taken into consideration.
