Attempts to persuade us - to believe something, to do something, to buy something - are everywhere. What is less clear is how to think critically about such attempts and how to distinguish those that are sound arguments. Critical Thinking: A Concise Guide is a much needed guide to argument analysis and a clear introduction to thinking clearly and rationally for oneself. Accessibly written, this book equips students with the essential skills required to tell a good argument from a bad one.Key features of the book include:* clear, jargon-free discussion of key concepts in argumentation* how to avoid common confusions surrounding words such as 'truth', 'knowledge' and 'opinion'* how to identify and evaluate the most common types of argument* how to spot fallacies and tell good reasoning from bad* chapter summaries, exercises, examples and a glossary.The second edition has been updated to include topical new examples from politics, sport, medicine and music, as well as new exercises throughout.
