This handy book is a summary and guide to the art of reasoning well in academic pursuits and in everyday life. The Second Edition of Epstein's comprehensive text, CRITICAL THINKING, set a new standard of pedagogical excellence and provided a well-integrated approach to the subject. This brief "pocket guide" provides the same benefits in a trimmed-down fashion, covering the essentials. This latest edition includes revised examples that are more inter-disciplinary in scope.

This review is from: The Pocket Guide to Critical Thinking (Paperback)
I had to buy this book a Critical Thinking class. Most of the students didn't even read it, I actually did. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to not only improve their critical thinking skills, but also their argument skill. This book teaches you so many different common tricks, tactics, and fallacies to help you debunk flawed argument.
