A Philosophical Approach to Critical Thinking and Conflict

The phenomenon of conflict is considered as one of the most essential phenomena of human beings and is a part of their existence. Conflicts are social phenomena that have existed throughout the history of human society against the will of the people. Their existence in social life has transformed them into universal and objective phenomena that exist despite our knowledge and attitudes. These characteristics are imposed on man to study his eternal nature for the benefit of life and progress. The sciences of philosophy and critical thinking provide new concepts for conflict management and transformation. Critical thinking offers a new conceptual approach to dealing with conflicts in human society. The essence of critical thinking is the idea and views of philosophers for a rational and reasoned approach to conflicts. The following paper aims to influence the education and formation of beliefs and a dialectical attitude on the importance of critical thinking in the recognition, understanding, and management of conflicts in society.
