Richard Paul

Author

DR. RICHARD PAUL was a leading proponent of critical thinking until his death in August of 2015, and in his work and legacy, Paul remains an international authority on critical thinking. He founded the Center for Critical Thinking at Sonoma State University in 1980, followed by the Foundation for Critical Thinking. In his lifetime, he developed concepts, principles, and theory essential to a robust and fairminded conception of critical thinking; he worked tenaciously to advance ethical, or strong-sense, critical thinking throughout education and society. In his lifetime, Paul authored more than 200 articles and seven books on critical thinking. He presented workshops to hundreds of thousands of educators over his 35-year history as a primary leader in the critical thinking movement.
