Dictionary meaning
subject all assumptions, authorities, and received knowledge to critical scrutiny rather than accepting them uncritically; adopt a disposition of principled scepticism towards claims of certainty; the imperative is associated with the scientific method, philosophical scepticism, and critical pedagogy; while radical scepticism that questions even basic logical and empirical facts is philosophically problematic, questioning the assumptions underlying established theories is one of the primary drivers of scientific progress
