NEW
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examples and passages have been
replaced by completely new material.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.
