Good book

It feels like they're trying to turn common sense and the art of language into mathematic computations. This also explains why a "jury of your peers" is a somewhat inefficient system because most average people do not have common sense or the ability to think logically. I've read somewhere that only 48% of adults can think abstractly. It's probably that same 48% that can understand deductive logic as presented here. The most useful chapter was 11 about making value judgements. I enjoyed that the author is from my turf. I also like having words for how things work.

What a wonderful book, speaks about Critical thinking, talking about biased and unbiased cultures, introspection for analyzing our culture towards critical thinking. This book is very useful for everyone, who wants to be self motivated.

[Stuart Macalpine]

A useful guide to critical thinking mentioned in the literature for P4C. Some nice refinements on induction and deduction, otherwise quite middle of the road.

Critical thinking is very important
