The small scale of the book keeps the cost low, a vital consideration in today’s economy, yet without compromising on logical rigor. The author’s presentation strikes a careful balance: it offers clear, jargon-free writing while preserving rigor. Brimming with numerous pedagogical features, this accessible text assists students with analysis, reconstruction, and evaluation of arguments and helps them become independent, analytical thinkers. Introductory students are exposed to the basic principles of reasoning while also having their appetites whetted for future courses in philosophy.

Perhaps some of my personal bias will leak into this review but I will try remain objective. I'm in the fifth week of the class this book was required for. My teacher is very enjoyable, but aside from that, I found this "text," if it can be called that, to be very easy to read and understand. I would even venture to say, it shouldn't be viewed as a textbook, but rather, a self-paced guide through critical thinking. Even though my major is physics, I intend to keep this book. Definitely a good reference when writing a research paper or something of such nature and even if you don't use it as a reference, I think everyone could benefit from the self-enlightenment this book will bring you.
Great book, bought it for my phil. class, lots of examples and the exercises are actually fun to do because it makes learning everything seem so easy.
I really gives the reader many clues on logical thinking. The examples were challenging and interesting at the same time. I honestly feel that my critical thinking has improved a lot after the reading the book!
Pretty cool book. Got it as described. Pretty good condition.
Awesome book love it
Good

This is a required textbook for my wife's philosophy class. It's an easy to understand book, plus it's almost half price compared to the university bookstore. Received it in just a few days .
