Thinking Well - A Logic And Critical Thinking Textbook 4e (Lavin)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
The common title of this course is “Logic and Critical Thinking.” So, we can think about the course as having two main components: the study of formal logic and the study of the tools and strategies of critical thinking. This text is structured in a bit of a “sandwich”. Units on critical thinking and then formal logic, and then units on more critical thinking topics.
