About this listen

Critical thinking shows people how to analyse arguments, speeches, and newspaper articles to see which faults the authors are making in their reasoning. It looks at the structure of language to demonstrate rules by which you can identify good analytical thinking and helps people to formulate clear defensible arguments themselves. With real life newspaper extracts, a glossary, exercises and answers, and a guide to essay writing, this is an invaluable tool for both students wanting to improve their grades and general readers wanting to boost their brainpower.©2009 Sharon M. Kaye (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Logic & Language

Editor reviews

Critical thinking is an important skill not just in school, but in life as well, and this primer from John Carroll University philosophy professor Sharon M. Kaye gives listeners a sound basis for analyzing arguments wherever one may encounter them. Performed clearly and confidently by Andrea Powell, this audiobook begins by defining what an argument is, and then moves on to concepts such as induction and deduction, and validity and soundness of reasoning. Powell's crisp narration is supremely listenable, making Kaye's lessons easy to absorb for students and laypersons alike.
