Jeff McLaughlin's How to Think Critically begins with the premise
that we are all, every day, engaged in critical thinking. But as we
may develop bad habits in daily life if we don't scrutinize our
practices, so we are apt to develop bad habits in critical thinking
if we are careless in our reasoning. This book exists to instill
good thinking habits: attentiveness to word choice, avoidance of
fallacies, and effective construction and assessment of arguments.
With relatable and often amusing examples included throughout, the
book adopts a degree of technical sophistication that is rigorous
and yet still easily applied to ordinary situations. Venn diagrams,
truth tables, and McLaughlin's 'S-Test'-a step-by-step method for
argument analysis-are presented to the reader not as concepts for
academic study but as tools for better thinking and living.
