Recenzii
Finally, a text that is not only about critical reasoning but is itself an excellent piece of philosophical thinking in its own right. We have needed a book like this for a long time. . . . It meets students where they are and takes them to a fresh and interesting engagement with the world of thinking.
Jon Stratton's textbook is a welcome, well-written approach to the study of critical thinking. It analyzes the character of arguments comprehensively-not only by examining standards for good reasoning, but by looking at the underlying communicative and emotional structure of discourse.
