What Is the Argument? Critical Thinking in the Real World is a clear, thoughtful text that solves a wide array of teaching problems unique to the critical thinking course. As the subtitle states, Lee introduces students to the kind of arguments they encounter outside the classroom, and develops a distinctive and effective set of methods by which they can identify and evaluate arguments. More than most texts, What Is the Argument presents an interesting, integrated, skill-building approach that satisfies students and teachers alike.
