 Interesting!, 2008-06-22
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!

 Needs Help, 2008-02-24
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, 2007-09-05
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.

The First and the Best: Funny, Sharp, Exceptional, 2007-01-24
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.

 A Good Introduction, 2006-03-19
This book combines readability with good content, being one of the most often selected introductions to logic and critical thinking on the university level, it obviously holds a great deal of merit.
