Reviews"This is a very good introductory Critical Thinking textbook. It comes from a Philosophical approach to the subject that focuses primarily on argument evaluation, and it does this very well. In particular, the treatments of deductive reasoning and explanation are excellent and some of the best I've seen in a textbook." - Adam Rosenfeld, University of North Carolina Greensboro"The quality of the book is high to excellent. It is strong in its comprehensiveness and simplicity. Ample blank margins greet the student's needs to take notes. . . . the text is educated without being pedantic." James A. Stieb, Drexel University., This is a very good introductory Critical Thinking textbook. It comes from a Philosophical approach to the subject that focuses primarily on argument evaluation, and it does this very well. In particular, the treatments of deductive reasoning and explanation are excellent and some of the best I've seen in a textbook." - Adam Rosenfeld, University of North Carolina Greensboro
