Critical Thinking- The Art of Argument
George W. Rainbolt, Sandra L. Dwyer | 2011 | 464 Pages | ISBN: 0495501573 | PDF | 7 MB
With a complete, approachable presentation, CRITICAL THINKING: THE ART OF ARGUMENT is an accessible yet rigorous introduction to critical
thinking. The text emphasizes immediate application of critical-thinking skills to real life.
The relevance of these skills is shown throughout the text by highlighting the advantages of basing one's decisions on a thoughtful
understanding of arguments and presenting the overarching commonalities across arguments.
With its conversational writing style and carefully selected examples, the book employs a consistent and unified treatment of logical form
and an innovative semiformal method of standardizing arguments
that illustrates the concept of logical form while maintaining a visible connection to ordinary speech. Without sacrificing accuracy or
detail, the authors have clearly presented the material with appropriate study tools
and exercises that emphasize application rather than memorization.
