Critical Thinking_Evaluating Claims and Arguments in Everyday Life:

Book Review

Abstract

Perhaps many of us were taught clear thinking and writing skills in secondary school. However, reviewing syllabuses in a variety of programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels shows a lack of courses (philosophy logic and religion being exceptions) featuring this important area of learning and daily living. This book is remarkable for its scope of issues covered, and its explanations' depth and clarity. Extensive end-of-chapter exercises for both groups and individuals are provided. The edition under review was published in 1986 and is the only edition available in our Saint Gabriel Library. The latest available version is the 14^th edition, published in 2024 by McGraw-Hill is also a remarkable volume that encompasses the latest critical thinking skills and emerging social issues and technical support.
