In addition to being a course in critical thinking, the activities in this book can be used to supplement lessons in all subjects.Although this book teaches common argument forms, its primary focus is identifying and evaluating evidencethe very basis of critical thinking. Most propaganda, advertising schemes, * trickery, and bad science are not the result of complex arguments; they are the result of half-truths and simple arguments.
