David Morrow and Anthony Weston build on Weston's acclaimed A
Rulebook for Arguments to offer a complete textbook for a course in
critical thinking or informal logic. Features of the book include:
Homework exercises adapted from a wide range of actual arguments
from newspapers, philosophical texts, literature, movies, YouTube
videos, and other sources. Practical advice to help students
succeed when applying the Rulebook 's rules. Suggestions for
further practice that outline activities students can do by
themselves or with classmates to improve their critical thinking
skills. Detailed instructions for in-class activities and take-home
assignments designed to engage students in critical thinking. An
appendix on mapping arguments, a topic not included in the Rulebook
, that introduces students to this vital skill in evaluating or
constructing complex and multi-step arguments. Model responses to
odd-numbered exercises, including commentaries on the strengths and
weaknesses of selected model responses as well as further
discussion of some of the substantive intellectual, philosophical,
and ethical issues raised by the exercises. The third edition of
Workbook contains the entire text of the recent fifth edition of
the Rulebook , supplementing this core text with extensive further
explanations and exercises. Updated and improved homework exercises
ensure that the examples continue to resonate with today's
students. Roughly one-third of the exercises have been replaced
with updated or improved examples. A new chapter on engaging
constructively in public debates -including five new sets of
exercises-trains students to engage respectfully and constructively
on controversial topics, an increasingly important skill in our
hyper-partisan age. Three new critical thinking activities offer
further opportunities to practice constructive dialogue.
