À propos de la quatrième de couverture:

Dan Flage provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to critical thinking in his text The Art of Questioning. It begins with simple issues at the level of words and concludes with large-scale applications, applying all the skills discussed in this book to reading and writing essays. Throughout, there is a commitment to intellectual rigor and student-friendliness. Each topic begins with relatively simple and straightforward cases and moves systematically to the kinds of messy cases found in ordinary language.

Features of The Art Of Questioning:

• Contains over 1,200 exercises and discussion questions drawn from diverse sources and covering numerous distinct topics
• Draws examples and exercises from a wide range of fields- both timeless classic and contemporary issues, such as the events of September 11.
• Includes solutions to the odd-numbered exercises, which gives students immediate feedback on their work.
• Contains unique chapters on evaluation of essays (Chapter 32) and writing argumentative essays (Chapter 33) that pull together all the individual skills honed in the earlier chapters.
