An entertaining, clearly written text for courses in logic, rhetoric, critical thinking, and English composition, \u003ci\u003eHard Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e presents dialogues that reproduce commonly used \"argument stoppers\" (Who are you to think that you know the truth? Isn't it all relative? Isn't it all subjective?), and subjects them to scrutiny. The text teaches students how to avoid the pitfalls of \"soft\" or sloppy thinking, enabling them to be better readers, better arguers, and more critical consumers of quantitative data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3224553\"\u003eJohn D.
