In the past 15 years a host of critical thinking books have
appeared that teach students to find flaws in the arguments of
others by learning to detect a number of informal fallacies. This
book is not in that tradition. The authors of this book believe
that while students learn to become vicious critics, they still
continue to make the very mistakes they criticize in others. Thus,
this book has adopted the approach of teaching the construction of
good arguments first and then introducing criticism as a secondary
skill. Moreover, the emphasis of the book is not on learning to
name fallacies, but on being able to identify weaknesses in an
argument so as to be able to construct an effective critique of
that argument. The book is accompanied by a workbook featuring a
wealth of examples to help students acquire the material.
