In an era of information overload, our need to learn how to critically evaluate the growing flood of information has never been greater. Critical Reflection showcases the role of reason in a world saturated by media-enhanced persuasion and complex scientific and technological jargon. Drawing from the classic philosophical texts, this engaging textbook on the art of analyzing arguments is also relevant to today's undergraduates in its use of real-life examples and exercises drawn mainly from media and politics. Malcolm Murray and Nebojsa Kujundzic cover the standard subjects in a one-semester course on critical thinking, offering ways to analyze arguments in the following areas: * language use * acceptability conditions for truth * categorical and propositional logic * induction * causal claims * probability reasoning * analogical reasoning * an in-depth analysis of informal fallacies Critical Reflection further distinguishes itself with in-depth answers to chapter exercises that are incorporated directly into the authors' detailed discussions. This is an ideal textbook to help professors foster autonomous thinking among their students.

Industry Reviews

"Superior in its explanations to exercise questions, this is among the most helpful critical thinking texts I have come across - perfect for my students. Very impressive." David Hunter, Department of Philosophy, Buffalo State College, SUNY "This book covers important material not well handled by otherwise comparable texts. Indeed, the whole treatment of causal arguments is a lucid presentation of subtle material. I am aware of many other such treatments, but few are as good and none better." Tim Kenyon, Department of Philosophy, University of Waterloo
