The Minerva School PhD in Critical Thinking combines the most powerful theoretical insights of six key disciplines: political economy, history, structural anthropology, verstehende sociology, psychoanalysis, and the philosophy of communication.Without a keen awareness of, and familiarity with, the insights of ALL these disciplines, it is essentially impossible to begin to understand even the most elementary aspects of a "globalized" world – let alone the kinds of complexity thrown in by the current financial and economic crisis.We believe the most powerful way to help people make sense of this world is through a profound commitment to a fundamental educational approach that takes the best insights of all the relevant disciplines and integrates them into a coherent and meaningful – yet simultaneously open-ended - whole.
