Critical Reasoning and Philosophy cover

Critical Reasoning & Philosophy has been praised as an innovative and clearly written handbook that teaches new philosophy students how to read, evaluate, and write in a critical manner. Concise, accessible language and ample use of examples and study modules help students gain the basic knowledge necessary to succeed in undergraduate philosophy courses, and to apply that knowledge to achieve success in other disciplines as well. With a reorganized presentation, fresh modules, new examples and illustrations, the second edition is even more clear and accessible to students.

This book presents clearly basic elements of practical reasoning and explains how to use them in reading philosophical works and writing essays. Recommended for introductory courses stressing critical thinking. -- Allan Bäck, Kutztown University
Ideal as supplement to primary texts in introductory philosophy courses. Modular approach effective in making philosophy accessible to beginners. -- Dr. Robert C. Good, Rider University
