Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook is an inexpensive but comprehensive
introduction. Examples and homework problems touch on philosophical issues much more so than
standard texts, providing instructors an opportunity to ease into philosophical discussions as desired
and piquing student interest. Homework assignments are on tear-out pages for ease of use.
While Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook covers standard issues of critical
thinking such as argument types and fallacies, it also provides a solid foundation for an advanced course
in formal logic. The final chapter includes a complete translation of Descartes’s Meditations, allowing
students to put their newly acquired skills to work on a classic work of philosophy.
