Readings in Critical Thinking demonstrates that critical thinking skills have very practical applications, and therefore can be used to better society. The text encourages readers to find solutions to societal problems and motivates them to take a stand against oppression, injustice, unnecessary wars, and other evils. It argues that if society can collectively adopt an effective method of reasoning, it will result in a positive contribution to humanity. Each of the ten chapters begins with an original writing that introduces the topic and the reading selection. Topics covered in the text include argument diagrams, deductive validity, syllogistic logic, inductive reasoning, fallacies, definitions, incomplete arguments, and reasoning schemes. All chapters conclude with exercises that give students the opportunity to apply what they have read. Readings in Critical Thinking is an excellent text for introductory courses in philosophy and logic.
