Critical Thinking: The Basics Zusammenfassung

Critical Thinking: The Basics Stuart Hanscomb (University of Glasgow, UK)

Critical Thinking: The Basics is an accessible and engaging introduction to the field of critical thinking, drawing on philosophy, communication and psychology. Emphasising its relevance to decision making (in personal, professional and civic life), academic literacy and personal development, this book supports the reader in understanding and developing the knowledge and skills needed to avoid poor reasoning, reconstruct and evaluate arguments, and engage constructively in dialogues.

Topics covered include:

    • the relationship between critical thinking, emotions and the psychology of persuasion

    • the role of character dispositions such as open-mindedness, courage and perseverance

    • argument identification and reconstruction

    • fallacies and argument evaluation.

With discussion questions/exercises and suggestions for further reading at the end of each main chapter, this book is an essential read for students approaching the field of critical thinking for the first time, and for the general reader wanting to improving their thinking skills and decision making abilities.

Critical Thinking: The Basics Bewertungen

Critical Thinking: The Basics covers the basics engagingly and without unnecessary jargon, provides lots of well-chosen examples and practice exercises, and, unlike most critical thinking textbooks, explains the theoretical background to the recent rise of critical thinking in education. Justine Kingsbury, University of Waikato, New Zealand

This is an excellent contribution to the growing literature on critical thinking. The discussion on causal reasoning, heuristics and biases, framing, social power, metacognition, and self-deception are timely and valuable. Critical Thinking: The Basics helps to bring together the literature on the psychology and sociology of human judgement with the philosophical art of argument analysis. Ted Poston, University of South Alabama, USA

This text is loaded with references, explanations, history and examples from the development and enhancement of the understanding of critical thinking. It offers a coverage of the basics of critical thinking and also provides a sense of how the field and individual expectations of critical thinking are changing. Charles Blatz, Professor Emeritus at University of Toledo, USA.
