Abstract
Purpose setting. The purpose of the article is to clarify the relationship between how critical thinking is understood and the ways in which it is fostered within higher education.

The methods and methodology include historical and philosophical reconstruction of views on upbringing and education from the position of interests of society and personality, comparative analysis of courses on critical thinking in universities in Russia and abroad in correlation with the main approaches.
Results. Specialized courses on critical thinking, as well as courses in which it is formed along with other intellectual skills, are oriented partly on philosophical and psychological approaches to understanding the essence of critical thinking.
Conclusion. However, the results obtained in the framework of the realization of the Delphi study act as the basic for teaching.
