We are frequently confronted with arguments. Arguments are attempts
to persuade us - to influence our beliefs and actions - by giving
us reasons to believe this or that. Critical Thinking: A Concise
Guide will equip students with the concepts and techniques used in
the identification, analysis and assessment of arguments whatever
the subject matter or context. Through precise and accessible
discussion, this book provides the tools to become a successful
critical thinker, one who can act and believe in accordance with
good reasons, and who can articulate and make explicit those
reasons. Key topics discussed include: Core concepts in
argumentation How language can serve to obscure or conceal the real
content of arguments How to distinguish argumentation from rhetoric
How to avoid common confusions surrounding words such as 'truth',
'knowledge' and 'opinion' How to identify and evaluate the most
common types of argument How to distinguish good reasoning from bad
in terms of deductive validity and induction. This fifth edition
has been revised and extensively updated throughout, including a
significantly expanded range of 'complete examples', the
introduction of Venn diagrams and the discussion of fake news and
related phenomena arising in the contemporary scene. The dynamic
Routledge Critical Thinking companion website provides thoroughly
updated resources for both instructors and students, including new
examples and case studies, flashcards, sample questions, practice
questions and answers, student activities and a testbank of
questions for use in the classroom. Visit
