Critical Thinking for Students: Learn the Skills of Analysing, Evaluating and Producing Arguments

by Roy van den Brink-Budgen

The skills of Critical Thinking are important whatever subject you are studying. They enable you to assess what's been said or written by asking the right questions: 'What does this mean?' 'What else could it mean?' 'What other evidence do I need?' With your answers, you can suggest other explanations or scenarios: 'Perhaps it's this rather than that'. As a creative, enquiring thinker, you can then move on to produce well-argued material of your own. This new edition has been totally updated, but it continues in the tradition of the earlier editions in that it is invaluable for all students, whether you're doing a course in Critical Thinking (like the AS-level) or not. It quite simply covers everything you need to become a skilled Critical Thinker.

از اولین کتابهایی است که پژوهشگاه برای توسعه «فلسفه برای کودکان» یا «فبک» منتشر کرد اما کماکان یکی از بهترین آنها در معرفی ساختار و فرم مولفه های ابتدایی و متوسط منطقی است
کتاب از مسائل بظاهر پیش پا افتاده اما بسیار مهم، یعنی شناسایی استدلال و تفکیک عناصر آن شروع میکند و تا کشف مغالطات و درک احتمالی بودن استدلالهای روزمره و نحوه حمایت منطقی از آنها پیش میرود
تجربه من نشان داده که این کتاب بیش از هر سنی برای پایه هفتم تا نهم مناسب است
نقطه قوت کتاب همین سیر جزئی مسائل منطقی و نقطه ضعف آن تمرکز صرف برمنطق (به عنوان تنها نماینده پرورش دهنده تفکر انتقادی) و فشردگی بیش از حد (عاری بودن از مثالها و محتوای کافی) است
برای دوستانی که فلسفه یا دروس عمومی میدهند ابزار مناسبی برای پرورش (منطق به قصد کمک به) تفکر انتقادی است

کتابی خوب، خوشخوان و مفید برایِ ورود به حوزه‌یِ تفکر انتقادی
کتاب به صورتِ تعلیمی نوشته شده و برایِ دبیرستانی‌ها و حتی (!) دانشجویانِ عزیز کاربرد داره. علیکم و علیکنّ به مطالعه‌یِ این کتاب. البته ناگفته نماند اشکالاتِ تایپی و این‌ها داشت. پ

Useful

I first discovered this book while preparing for my LNAT. It was incredibly helpful in the critical analysis of various extracts and in writing an argumentative essay.

A year later, I read this book again in preparation for my law degree. The strengths of the book include (1) a concise and accessible format; (2) a wide range of examples from real-life sources; and (3) clear structure and explanations. However, at times it seemed that the use of examples was excessive, with the author focusing more on discussing them than on the concepts he introduced.

It is unlikely that any book can teach you how to think critically, as this is a skill developed through practice and reflection. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book to those who wish to adopt a more structured and guided approach to analyzing the information around them.
