Explanation

Developing critical and logical thinking means identifying and analysing problems, selecting relevant facts and principles, and drawing inferences.

Identifying the problem sets the target of inquiry.

Analysing it breaks the problem into examinable parts.

Selecting relevant facts and principles supplies sound grounds.

Drawing inferences and conclusions completes the reasoning.

Establishing merely subjective truths runs against the objectivity critical thinking seeks.
