The Challenge

Intellectual debate should build community and pride on a university campus. Diverse worlds need intellectual disagreements. They’re how we learn, innovate, and grow.

But without cultural protocols, disagreements can become personal and corrode the academic freedom and trust institutions work so hard to foster.

  • Students fear being canceled for offering an opinion in class.
  • Faculty worry about backlash for teaching material they consider to be essential.
  • Boards of Governors bring together members with immense skills and diverse viewpoints, but can’t seem to bring together their competing ideas to forge collective decisions.
  • Administrators and DEI leaders propose initiatives to tackle these problems, but divisive disagreements continue to resurge.

Empower campus communities with tools for creative collaboration and decision making across differences

Systematic empathy is a step-by-step method to help participants slow down their thinking to better understand the logic and context of someone's view.

Argument mapping disagreements uncovers hidden assumptions, faulty logic, as well as points of connection.

Trusted by Educators

"[How We Argue] is basically a critical thinking course developed by folks out of Harvard that you can build into your own course as a unit. What is phenomenal in my mind is that they've used technology in exactly the right way, given the educational process, because in order to learn critical thinking, you need to practice extensively and you need immediate feedback, and you need to do it on your own over and over and over... It's a mastery-based system the students go through."

About Us

ThinkerAnalytix is an education non-profit organization spun out of the Harvard University Department of Philosophy. Why philosophy? For philosophers, disagreement is expected, even invited, to tackle seemingly impossible problems. History shows that the best learning happens through disagreement that is inquisitive, respectful, and fearless.

We leverage thousands of years of pedagogy from philosophy and custom education technology to offer a portfolio of courses and programs that teach productive disagreement as an essential part of learning and working communities.
