Synopsis

For undergraduate courses in Critical Thinking, Rhetoric, Informal Logic, Introduction to Philosophical Thinking, and Freshman Studies.

This unique book is a treatment of critical thinking, rather than an informal logic textbook. It emphasizes a philosophical reflection on real issues from everyday life, in order to teach students the skills of critical thinking in a commonplace context that is easy to understand and certain to be remembered.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Thinking Socratically: Critical Thinking About Everyday Issues, Second Edition encourages students in a user-friendly way to improve their own natural reasoning skills. An enjoyable collection of readings presents students with real-life situations that raise questions about the basic assumptions of rationality, naturally engaging them in open dialogue―the hallmark of the rational person. The situations range from the problem of evidence at a trial to the absence of an explanation of why two children died in the same day-care center on the same day.

The text is distinctively different, both conceptually and pedagogically in its approach and critical thinking.

  • Teaches critical thinking in contexts of ordinary life issues
  • Shows how to be a critical thinker using Socrates as a model
  • Emphasizes open rational dialogue, especially among friends, but even among enemies
  • Is organized in short packets for ease of assignment and retention
  • Includes puzzles of rationality as well as standard items

Second edition includes:

  • Ten new readings
  • Expanded coverage of deduction, including Venn diagrams
  • More informal fallacies
  • Fully integrated readings and text
