- Follows the proven format of The Philosopher’s Toolkit and The Ethics Toolkit with concise, easily digestible entries, “see also” recommendations that connect topics, and recommended reading lists
- Allows readers to apply new critical thinking and reasoning skills with exercises and real life examples at the end of each chapter
- Written in an accessible way, it leads readers through terrain too often cluttered with jargon
- Ideal for beginning to advanced students, as well as general readers, looking for a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to critical thinking
