"The book is comprehensive in taking up crucial aspects of critical thinking. I particularly applaud the inclusion of chapter two to help readers grasp the all-too-easy to make mistakes that impede critical thinking. The opening chapter does a great job of giving students a clear sense of not only what the rest of the book offers but also a clear sense of the meaning and purview of critical thinking. The last chapter is also vital, as ethics is all too often ignored as a vital component of critical thinking."" -Jeffrey Nall The topic (obstacles to critical thinking) is itself a major strength. Too many critical thinking books focus on logic without taking adequate time to explore the skills and psychological biases that influence our capacity to think critically. The inclusion of subjective relativism is particularly important given the uncritical acceptance of this profoundly misguided ideology."" -Jeffrey Nall This is one of the better * if not the bestintroductory texts to critical thinking I have read in quite some time. Main strengths are the clarity and concise nature of the writing throughout the text, the material covered, and the general tone (not overly technical, not pandering)."" -John Ludes *"
