Presenting just enough theory to explain why certain kinds of arguments are sound or not, and then bringing this theory to life through everyday illustrations and examples, this title provides students with an introduction to critical thinking along with a synthesis of formal and informal approaches to logic.
A PRACTICAL STUDY OF ARGUMENT, 7E, International Edition gives you the tools you need to understand informal logic and formulate a good argument. By focusing on real world examples and including helpful study tools such as exercises with answers, a glossary of common fallacies, chapter summaries, and a book-specific online program (available with the book), A PRACTICAL STUDY OF ARGUMENT, 7E, International Edition provides you with everything you need to master the material with ease.
