Customer Reviews

Critical Thinking 8th Edition, Ashford University

I received my book without any delays. I have no problems purchasing more books from this seller.

Critical Thinking is a great tool

Critical Thinking was a course I had in college several years ago and it was the best class, IMO. I'd given my book away so decided it may be time to refresh my critical thinking. I've only just started reading the book but it is current to the times a year ago (the book is now a year old). This is a good tool to have to debunk all the & *^%( that is going on around us now. Exercise your mind and think about what is true and what is not true. Critical Thinking

Great Condition

I recieved the book in a timely manner, no more than three days. Which is good because I am one of those people who wait untill the last minute to order.

Interesting!

I bought this book for my Phil 102 class and never thought I'd even like the subject. This book was interesting, and made me laugh a little. I can now say, I know how to argue with people better than before!

The First and the Best: Funny, Sharp, Exceptional

I have taught critical thinking and argument for fourteen years, and Moore and Parker's Critical Thinking is the best in its field, bar none. That is why it is in its eighth edition. You'll see imitations, but this is the original--the one that started it all and brought critical thinking out of philosophy classrooms and to the masses of non-philosophy college students. Don't get me wrong, Parker and Moore do not water down or pander to the at-large reader, but rather use intelligence, media issues, and humor to teach "heavy" concepts in a most palatable and efficient way. When students start using the language of a discipline easily and naturally, and they understand its concepts, the writers have done their work. Parker and Moore make getting there insightful and fun.
