Asking the Right Questions
Used in a variety of courses in various disciplines, Asking the Right Questions helps students bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis. Specifically, this concise text teaches students to think critically by exploring the components of arguments--issues, conclusions, reasons, evidence, assumptions, language--and on how to spot fallacies and manipulations and obstacles to critical thinking in both written and visual communication. It teaches them to respond to alternative points of view and develop a solid foundation for making personal choices about what to accept and what to reject.
Asking the Right Questions
"Asking the Right Questions" is a guide to making personal choices: what to accept and what to reject. It helps readers develop critical thinking skills that improve their ability to make rational decisions without formal training. The text's focus on integrated evaluation skills encourages readers to apply critical thinking to a wide variety of material. The third edition includes an emphasis on relating critical thinking skills to expository writing, including several chapters that provide suggestions for using particular critical questions to enhance the effectiveness of writing. This edition also includes a greater emphasis on creative thinking. The authors include a wide variety of brief practice exercises, as well as several longer essays for analysis of more complex arguments. -- From publisher's description.
