More than any other textbook, Moore and Parker's Critical Thinking has defined the structure and content of the critical thinking course at colleges and universities across the country--and has done so with a witty writing style that students enjoy. Now in full-color, the eighth edition brings the concepts of critical thinking to life in vivid detail, with current examples relevant to today's students.

 Insightful Book! September 14, 2008
This book was required for a Philosophy class I took last year and I understand why. Moore & Parker do not spare any feelings as they guide the reader through the critical thinking process. This has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative, as another reviewer commented; it does have everything to do with being a fantastic book for developing strong critical thinking skills. Before I studied this book, I thought I would despise Philosophy and especially critical thinking, mainly because I didn't consider myself an extremely logical person. (I told my professor that more than once and he just smiled - and gave me an "A" in the course.) Moore & Parker showed me how wrong I was. My critical thinking skills (essential for everything of merit we do) are well-honed, in large part because of this book. It is on my bookshelf and will stay there. Highly recommended.
Interesting! June 22, 2008
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!

I think this book has been watered down so many times simply because the author's ran out of words to write. They have split the meanings so many times that there is now no clear definition. Every expample that they use is also from a very liberal slat, it's no wonder since they are from Chico State. By the way this is call not just an ad hominem but a personal attack ad hominem or in plain speak...an insult!
Very well written September 5, 2007

Very well written and easy to understand. The author doesn't go over your head with abstract concepts for his peers. It is very broken down and helpful.
