About this title

Synopsis

The highly-anticipated second Canadian edition of The Power of Critical Thinking is a comprehensive, engaging introduction to the skills of scientific and moral reasoning, logic, and argumentative essay-writing. Starting with a look at the basic concepts required to think critically, the text explores such compelling topics as how to assess the credibility of a website, why it's important to be wary of advertising, and how psychological and social factors such as bias, habit, tradition, emotion, and philosophical outlook impede clear thinking. Written in lively, conversational prose and filled with Canadian references and examples, The Power of Critical Thinking is essential for Canadian students taking courses in critical thinking, critical reasoning, practical logic, and rhetoric and reasoning.
