Critical Thinking

This second edition has been extensively revised with updated examples and a brand new chapter on how to obtain reliable information from the internet.

Studying critical thinking involves trying to change the ways in which most of us think. In this second edition of the popular Critical Thinking: An Introduction, Alec Fisher concentrates on developing critical thinking skills explicitly and directly.

His aim is to teach the ability to interpret, analyse and evaluate ideas and arguments and to show how these skills can be transferred to other studies and everyday life. A new chapter covers getting reliable information from the internet and examples and passages have been replaced by completely new material. The book is also suitable for the independent learner.
