Critical Thinking: 2024 Release is a textbook designed to train students in analyzing arguments and developing independent critical evaluation skills. The volume emphasizes practical instruction in critical thinking rather than functioning merely as an abstract study of the discipline.
Core coverage addresses argument structure, linguistic clarity, and the credibility of claims and sources. The text examines deductive systems such as categorical and sentential logic, explores inductive reasoning, analyzes several varieties of logical fallacies, and considers moral, legal, and aesthetic reasoning.
To support student learning and skill application, the textbook incorporates hundreds of exercises and examples that offer guided practice, featuring expanded material on recognizing dubious claims.
