Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inexpensive but comprehensive introduction.

Homework assignments are on tear-out pages for ease of use. While Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook covers standard issues of critical thinking such as argument types and fallacies, it also provides a solid foundation for an advanced course in formal logic. The final chapter includes a complete translation of Descartes’s Meditations, allowing students to put their newly acquired skills to work on a classic work of philosophy.

This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What skill can be more important than your college degree? According to 93% of CEOs, THIS skill, which also keeps self-doubt, wrong decisions, and beliefs at bay. We're talking about a basic skill that isn't so basic - critical thinking. Everyone thinks they have it, but most people are anxious, unhappy, doubt their decisions, and aren't where they want to be in life. Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How come intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories? Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it's wrong and often misleading? Poor reasoning, inability to tell facts from fiction, and flawed decision-making cause these kinds of fallacies. A Nature.com study in 2015, "First results from psychology's largest reproducibility test," examined over 100 psychology studies to see if they could be reproduced. Researchers found that only a third of the studies could be replicated. The other two-thirds had been skewed by errors or unconscious biases and couldn't be trusted. One of the reasons most of us fall short in thinking critically is that our educational system doesn't teach critical thinking. They're the reason most people never live up to their potential. So, if you feel like you don't have the right diploma or the right skill set to succeed at what you do, don't worry. You might be stunned by how many false biases you're already carrying around. They bleed into your professional and personal life. That's why we've put together the needed resources to introduce you to what critical thinking is about, to build the habit of thinking critically, and to discern fact from fiction easily.

Download or read book Being Logical written by D.Q. McInerny and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2005-05-10 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential tool for our post-truth world: a witty primer on logic—and the dangers of illogical thinking—by a renowned Notre Dame professor Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity. Being logical is the ability to create concise and reasoned arguments—arguments that build from given premises, using evidence, to a genuine conclusion. But mastering logical thinking also requires studying and understanding illogical thinking, both to sharpen one’s own skills and to protect against incoherent, or deliberately misleading, reasoning. Elegant, pithy, and precise, Being Logical breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. D. Q. McInerney covers the sources of illogical thinking, from naïve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics—red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning—the illogical use in place of effective reasoning. An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, crisply readable book. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’s Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice. Praise for Being Logical “Highly readable . . . D. Q. McInerny offers an introduction to symbolic logic in plain English, so you can finally be clear on what is deductive reasoning and what is inductive. And you’ll see how deductive arguments are constructed.”—Detroit Free Press “McInerny’s explanatory outline of sound thinking will be eminently beneficial to expository writers, debaters, and public speakers.”—Booklist “Given the shortage of logical thinking, And the fact that mankind is adrift, if not sinking, It is vital that all of us learn to think straight. And this small book by D.Q. McInerny is great. It follows therefore since we so badly need it, Everybody should not only but it, but read it.” —Charles Osgood

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have tried to make this book an argument, not a catalogue of dogmas. Its ideal reader will find himself constantly asking questions, for which he will insist on finding his own answers. To avoid wasting his time, I have made the fullest use of authentic illustrations from newspapers, books, and other contemporary sources. One of the wisest things ever said about our subject is that “Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large doses.” While bearing this constantly in mind, I have also aimed at a high level of accuracy and the inclusion of nothing that would have to be unlearnt at a more advanced level of study. This book could never have been written without the help of the students to whom I have lectured on logic and scientific method. My chief obligations are to them. Logic ought to be easy, interesting, and enjoyable. This book will have been successful if it helps some readers to find it so.—Prof. Max Black

Book excerpt: If you keep making mistakes and just can't seem to reach that next level... Then keep reading Did you know that if you didn't listen to Mozart as a child, you might be 8-10 IQ points dumber than you were supposed to be? Okay, not really. But during the 1990s, a generation of children was forced by their parents to listen to Mozart...Because a study found it made children smarter. However, study after study couldn't replicate those results later. Eventually, researchers concluded that listening to ANYTHING while working resulted in higher intelligence testing. How come did the idea become established as fact? Because people fail to think critically. When your team, your boss, or your company depends on you to make the correct decision time and time again... you literally can't afford to be wrong. It could cost a client money. It could cost your company that client. It could cost you your job. The good news is you have the key to fix your problems. It's a skill you just need to get better at using it. That's why we wrote The Critical Thinking Effect, to take you from good to great. It's packed with examples, exercises, and actionable steps to get you thinking clearer - today. Here's just a smattering of what you'll find inside: How to "ethically brainwash" your subordinates - see how a manager employed critical thinking to get his team to do a COMPLETE 180, on a project they SWORE they'd never work on! How to spot lies, sift through deceptions, and have the confidence to know you've made the best decision possible. How to use "X-Ray vision" on social media and news to tell fact from fiction Why you shouldn't name your child Wolfgang - the dangers of misinterpreting data too literally How failure to think critically caused an experienced detective to miss a literal murder and what we need to learn from that real story The 10 most common cognitive fallacies and traps, listed by a Cambridge Ph.D. - how many are you committing on a daily basis? How to have better relationships with your loved ones by recognizing their BS (and your own) What dueling ice cream shops can teach you about lack of due diligence ...and much, much more! If you didn't listen to Mozart when you were in diapers, the good news is you've still got a chance to develop critical thinking ability. But if you just can't break through to that next level in life...You won't magically develop the ability to make better decisions. Do you want to stop second-guessing yourself, make better decisions under fire, and be the rockstar of your team? Then supercharge your brain and get to that next level ASAP.
