Críticas
Unlike many critical-thinking books, there is a particular and efficacious focus on helping the reader write an argumentative essay... The central goal of Workbook for Arguments is to assist one in becoming a critical thinker qua writer. Chapters 7 and 8 (nearly fifty pages) are devoted specifically to preparing the reader to produce an argumentative essay. For those of us who want to concentrate on the receiving aspects of critical thinking, the first six chapters and perhaps an appendix or two will do the job superbly. There are over sixty exercise sets, not one of which is frivolous. The model responses are typically excellent, some providing both weak and strong examples for answers, and the answers are often followed by commentary. Part 3 offers twelve critical-thinking activities, one per chapter and appendix. These activities are often set up for group work. The activities are relevant, helpful, and thoroughly presented. The expository clarity is as good as it gets, and this is true even when a light touch is used. A Workbook for Arguments is an excellent text, standing head and shoulders above both Boylan's Critical Inquiry and Browne and Keeley's Asking the Right Questions . A Workbook for Arguments is much larger than the other two books reviewed here, and it is actually less expensive than Critical Inquiry and Asking the Right Questions . --Chris Jackson, Philosophy and Religion Program, Mt. Hood Community College, in Teaching Philosophy An exceptional textbook that will be an invaluable resource to both students and instructors. Those familiar with Weston's popular A Rulebook for Arguments will be delighted by this comprehensive workbook, which includes detailed and entertaining sets of exercises for each rule (Part I), engaging model student responses (Part II), and well-crafted activities to develop critical thinking skills (Part III). --Michael Strawser, University of Central Florida This comprehensive text models what it teaches. It combines concise principles of critical thinking with delightful examples and engaging exercises. --Joanne B. Ciulla, University of Richmond "Workbook not only provides a basic introduction to critical thinking but also contains a wealth of exercises, sample answers, and evaluations of sample arguments conducive to deepening and applying critical thinking skills, both in writing and in oral presentations. It is a valuable asset for critical thinking courses and is accessible both in terms of the clear structure of its content and its price." Daniela Vallega-Neu, University of Oregon
