I started the book by reading samples.Then, I realized that the book is awesome and I decided to purchase one.Highly recommend. If you are skeptical about this book, don't be afraid to read it for educational purposes.
This book is worth its weight in gold.The author must definitely love critical thinking because this book is filled with love. Every single page is written with care and there are plenty of examples for practice. This books is definitely is perfect for those who like lots of practice questions and examples, and the book's companion website has free supplementary material that could fill two more books of this length. I'm really surprised that there are not more reviews for this book. I came to .com to see what other customers who read this book also enjoyed reading; saw only one review, and had to log on just to write one.This book is worth about $200 and should be used in every university's philosophy department for critical thinking courses.A+++Daniel Millsap
This is an excellent critical thinking text written by a clever and creative critical thinker. Her anthology "What If?" is excellent too: the short readings are perfect for engaging philosophical issues in and out of the classroom.This book has a helpful webpage from the publisher with extra material and exercises, but won't let the link be posted. :(
Critical thinking is counter-intuitive. Rarely people think critically unless they teach themselves to do it . This book will show you how.
arrived on time but the although it was the same edition the teacher had . the book was different
Fast shipping and just as described!
