From the Publisher
Concerns the evaluation of reasoning as found in written and spoken language and in our thinking.
Spells out a procedure for outlining arguments and for evaluating arguments and covers the most common sorts of arguments.
Uses numerous examples culled from periodicals and books and reports the research results from psychologists which show the seductiveness of the many inferential errors people can make.
Seeks to improve our instinctive, intuitive approach to everyday reasoning by cultivating the intellectual virtues of critical reflection, empirical inquiry, open-mindedness, inquisitiveness, and intellectual honesty.
Abundant exercise sets throughout each chapter with a sample exercise and sample answer at the start of each exercise set to ensure the student knows what sorts of answers are expected.
The Student Solutions Manual (packaged FREE with every copy of the main text) offers answers to odd-numbered exercises, a comprehensive glossary, easy-reference charts, and a valuable guide to evaluating Internet sources, entitled 'Good Reasoning and the Web.'
The Instructor's Manual by Amy Kind of Claremont McKenna College offers teaching suggestions for each chapter of the text, sample answers to even-numbered questions, handouts, additional exercises, and sample quizzes.
