The Phenomenology of Critical Thinking in Literature
The Phenomenology of Critical Thinking in Literature

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the analysis of literary critical thinking as a form of thinking over shapes and artistic expressions. Based on the principles of phenomenology, critical thinking is investigated as a way through which the literary work is related to the system of aesthetic values. Developed therein are three ideas meant to form a type of thinking expressed by various critics in relation to the literary work. The first aspect is related to the phenomenological perception that occurs in the act of reading, the second establishes the mechanism that triggers the interpretation and the third is related to the explanation of the convergence/ divergence of critical judgments. The idea of logical critical thinking with the fuzzy logic is also introduced. The article is part of a research project about the structure of critical thinking.
