Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook - 2nd edition

Critical Thinking and Logic:
A Philosophical Workbook - 2nd edition
by Todd M. Furman

Now in its second edition, Critical Thinking
and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook is an
inexpensive but comprehensive introduction.
Examples and homework problems touch on
philosophical issues much more so than
standard texts do, providing instructors an
opportunity to ease into philosophical
discussions as desired and piquing student
interest. Homework assignments are on
tear-out pages for ease of use.

While Critical Thinking and Logic: A
Philosophical Workbook covers standard
issues of critical thinking such as argument
types and fallacies, it also provides a solid
foundation for an advanced course in formal logic.
The final chapter includes a complete translation
of Descartes's Meditations, allowing students
to put their newly acquired skills to work on a
classic work of philosophy.

Todd M. Furman teaches at McNeese State University,

philosophy from the University of California at
Santa Barbara in 1992, writing his dissertation
on the Gettier problem. His primary interests in
philosophy include Hume, skepticism, and the
philosophy of religion - especially the problem
of evil.
