Book Reviews of Thinking (4th Edition)
Book Review: Common sense
Summary: 2 Stars
The book provides the common sense of thinking. The logical thinking chapter is very good. The exampes of using Venn digram to explain syllogisms are very clear. It talks about creative thinking, logical thinking, scientific thinking, and persuasive thinking. It never discusses critical thinking. Most textbooks discussed critical thinking as the major theme. It is not clear why this textbook never mentioned it.
