Think

by Judith A. Boss

THiNK is a multicultural and interdisciplinary introductory critical thinking ethics textbook and provides students with the skills necessary to make and commit to decisions in their lives based on reason and logic. Each chapter in THiNK addresses a different topic related to critical thinking beginning with the basic critical-thinking skills, which are covered in Chapters 1 to 6. Chapters 7 and 8 address the use of these critical-thinking skills in analyzing inductive and deductive arguments. Chapters 9 to 13 are optional. Each of these chapters involves applying the critical skills studied in Chapters 1 to 8 to a different contemporary issue. The major sections in each chapter are each followed by a series of exercises which encourage students to apply their critical-thinking skills to specific questions or issues.

I liked this textbook so much that I went back after the class was over to finish reading it. One would think the topics covered would be common sense, and many of them are, but there are a lot of philosophical and logical principles being covered. Also, it helps to actually sit down and think about "common sense" topics sometimes. We don't do that enough.

Would recommend this book as a critical thinking textbook. Useful information. Found a questionable source cited, when the book was warning about questionable sources - that's a bit sad. Overall very recommended for clearer thinking.
