Synopsis

For undergraduate-level courses in Logic, Critical Thinking, Informal Logic, and Deductive Logic.

Bridging the gap between introductory logic texts and those texts that emphasize critical thinking only, Critical Reasoning and Logic presents a process that enables students to apply proper reasoning techniques in a practical fashion. It encourages them to not only evaluate someone else's reasoning, but to apply these techniques to their own writing and reasoning.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Robert Boyd's new text is useful for introductory courses in critical reasoning and logic. This text assumes that logic is practiced and best understood by students when they see practical applications of logic principles. Boyd's text integrates the rigor of the study of logic in a fresh, accessible style of writing to show students that logic is essential and less daunting than they might think. In addition to teaching students how to become better thinkers, the text also helps students become better writers.
