Abstract
This research is a conceptual exploration of the vernacular that surrounds the concept of critical
thinking. Metaphor is engaged as a primer, and through this imagery, the intellectual resources
of critical thinking are explicated as tools of learning, understanding, and interpreting. Carrying
the metaphor forward, these tools are wielded as applications for each of the respective fields of
education, philosophy, and sociology. Social systems relating to epistemology and agency are
examined relative to the interplay with quality of thinking critically. In efforts to apply the
resources of critical thinking outlined, the tools will be wielded in an analysis of two notions of
socially constructed aspects of self: age and sex.
