Review

"When teaching for the OCR AS-Level course I found this an ideal book - the right depth for teachers and the right length for students. It is written with such obvious enthusiasm for lucid and practical thinking that it can be recommended to teachers and students in any field." Roger Sutcliffe, President, Sapere

3.0 out of 5 stars Use it as an introduction, 18 Dec 2004

By	"shantnwcubed" - See all my reviews

This book is very simplistic. The philosophical arguments aren't really explored, only to a very superficial level, and there is very little theory to support anything. As an introduction to critical thinking, it is excellent if you have no experience, and can lay a good foundation for one of the more advanced books, but this will only lay a foundation. I would recommend it for the GCSE student, or even the public house critical thinker, but for A level and uni, go for something else instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear and straightforward introduction to the subject., 8 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This is an excellent handbook for students of AS Critical Thinking. It is divided into chapters on identifying arguments, analysing simple arguments, finding more detail in arguments, exploring weaknesses, finding strengths, and applying skills. Each chapter includes clearly expressed examples, and there are short exercises (with answers!) to support each short section, as well as case studies and suggestions for further activities. Roy Van den Brink Budgen has written a book teachers will find invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars For students coming to the subject for the first time, 3 Sep 2007

By	Mr. S. A. Phillips - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was first published over ten years ago, so thousands of teachers and students must have benefited from it over this time. It provides a really approachable introduction to Critical Thinking and for those who are looking for such an introduction, I haven't come across a better one. It doesn't pretend to be an advanced text but is written for students coming to the subject for the first time. It covers both analysis and evaluation of arguments, with good use of examples and exercises. Read it and never think incritically again!
