Inhaltsangabe

This text covers the fundamentals of critical reasoning, argumentation, logic and argumentative essay writing. It also includes important features that many other texts leave out extensive treatment of scientific reasoning, thorough coverage on the evaluation of evidence and credibility, and a chapter on psychological and social factors that can impede critical thinking. With a large and diverse collection of exercises, examples and text boxes, Thinking Outside the Box is the ideal critical thinking text for undergraduates.
