Reason Argue Refute Refute: Critical Thinking About Anything

Dealing with arguments, claims, or ideas will never be the same after reading Reason Argue Refute by Professor Mark McIntire. You will be armed with a large toolbox providing powerful guidance in dissecting and creating ideas. Whether reading as a quick fly bye, or performing a heavy lift; this book will alter the way you look at ideas and show you how to organize yourself to think clearly.

With 12 mini-lecture videos embedded in a powerful text, Professor Mark McIntire pioneers how e-Textbooks must be now and in the future. In three concise parts, Reason Argue Refute trains the mind in HOW to think in any academic discipline. I used it in a summer session Critical Thinking class yielding a solid A grade. After cleansing the mind of common fallacies of reasoning, McIntire updates Aristotelian Syllogistic argumentation technology applicable to any line of thinking. In the Refutation part the book trains the mind to question its own assumptions and argue opposing views. This Fall I'm off to Law school and this book helped me get there when I took the LSAT and scored in the 93% category. This is a keeper…for life.

I appreciate the clarity of distinctions made possible in the book.
