This chapter introduces key concepts in critical thinking using films and music videos. It focuses on the critical thinking skills needed for the identification, analysis and evaluation of arguments. Based on 12 key questions, readers are introduced to core features of an argument such as “premise”, “conclusion” and “assumption”. The main types of arguments and the criteria for evaluating these arguments are also discussed. Throughout the chapter, films such as A Beautiful Mind, Bowling for Columbine and CSI: Miami, and music videos of John Lennon’s “Imagine”, Britney Spears’ “Toxic”, Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and others are used to illustrate the concepts.

Critical Thinking | 2nd Edition

Available study tools, international mindtap instant access for rainbolt/dwyer's critical thinking: the art of argument, about this product.

CRITICAL THINKING: THE ART OF ARGUMENT, 2nd Edition, is an accessible yet rigorous introduction to critical thinking. The text emphasizes immediate application of critical thinking in everyday life and helps students apply the skills they are studying. The relevance of these skills is shown throughout the text by highlighting the advantages of basing one's decisions on a thoughtful understanding of arguments and presenting the overarching commonalities across arguments. With its conversational writing style and carefully selected examples, the book employs a consistent and unified treatment of logical form and an innovative semiformal method of standardizing arguments that illustrates the concept of logical form while maintaining a visible connection to ordinary speech. Without sacrificing accuracy or detail, the authors clearly present the material, with appropriate study tools and exercises that emphasize application rather than memorization.
