CRITICAL THINKING A CONCISE GUIDE will equip you with concepts and techniques used in the identification, analysis and assessment of arguments. The aim is to improve your ability to tell whether an argument is being given, exactly what the argument is and whether you ought to be persuaded by it. Special features: • Clear, jargon-free discussion of key concepts in argumentation • How to avoid common confusions surrounding words such as ‘truth’, ‘knowledge’ and ‘opinion’ • How to identify and evaluate the most common types of argument • How to spot fallacies in arguments and tell good from bad reasoning • Topical examples from politics, sport medicine and music; chapter summaries; glossary and exercises throughout
