Description
The unique collaborative effort of a professor of English, a professor of philosophy, and now a professor of critical thinking, Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing is a compact but complete guide to critical thinking and argumentation. It draws on the authors’ varied expertise in critical thinking, effective persuasive writing, and comprehensive rhetorical strategies to help students move from critical thinking to argumentative and research writing. This extraordinarily versatile text includes comprehensive coverage of classic and contemporary approaches to argument, from Aristotelian to Toulmin, as well as 48 readings, including a casebook on the state and the individual. This affordable guide can stand alone or supplement a larger anthology of readings.
