Higgins, University of Texas, Austin Solomon and Higgins’s engaging text covers philosophy’s central ideas in an accessible, approachable manner. Through an exploration of timeless “big questions” about the self, God, justice, and other meaningful topics, the authors provide students with the context they need for an understanding of the foundational issues, while giving them the impetus and confidence to establish their own informed positions on these “big questions.” To give you the flexibility to fit the book to your course, the authors have designed each chapter with self-contained discussions, thus making it easy for you to choose your preferred topics and presentation order. NEW TO THIS EDITION • In the new edition, the author has summarized the general layout of each chapter toward the beginning of each chapter. • The boxes found throughout the text have been put into three categories: “Quotations/Excerpts” offer a wide variety of excerpts from key philosophical writings, as well as relevant popular sources. “Biographical” boxes provides a glimpse into the lives of many of the philosophers covered in the main text. “Informational” boxes set forth the beliefs of individuals and philosophical movements and point out links between philosophical theory and its application to societies worldwide. • Chapter 10 is now exclusively about non-Western philosophy, and the coverage of African American philosophy and feminist philosophy has mostly been shifted to Chapter 9 (the chapter on justice), except for the discussion of feminist ethics, which is now in Chapter 8 (the chapter on the good life). • The author has expanded a number of topics throughout the book, including Berkeley’s arguments against material substance (Chapter 4); Descartes’s argument for the existence of God and the external world (Chapter 5); feminist ethics (Chapter 8); and (to some extent) artistic censorship (Chapter 11). • Some topics that were not or were barely discussed in the previous edition have been included: the nontraditional conceptions of God of Karl Rahner and Marcus Borg (Chapter 3); string theory (Chapter 4); Descartes’s wax argument (Chapter 5); two of Derek Parfit’s teleporter cases (Chapter 6); eliminative materialism (Chapter 6); Benjamin Libet’s empirical basis for denying free will (Chapter 7); Harry Frankfurt’s critique of the of the Principle of Alternative Possibilities as a basis for moral responsibility (Chapter 7); the trolley problem (Chapter 8); Plato’s account of the Ring of Gyges and the question of piety in the Euthyphro (Chapter 8); the morality of patriotism and partiality more generally(Chapter 9); just war theory (Chapter 9); cosmopolitanism (Chapter 9); contemporary art and debates over what makes something art (Chapter 11). FEATURES • This engaging text is organized around a series of timeless “big questions” such as the meaning of life, God, and morality, giving students of all backgrounds and interest levels a useful, relevant context to approach key philosophical concepts, explore their own ideas, and form their own opinions as they examine each topic. • By starting the discussion in each chapter from the positions and opinions often held by typical firstand second-year students, the authors engage the students in “doing” philosophy right from the start and then, using their signature conversational style, guide students Socratically through an analysis of the issues surrounding each of the big questions. • Throughout the text, special boxed features present www.cengageasia.com 37 excerpts from primary sources to expose students to fundamental works in the history of philosophy, allowing them to benefit from a more informed perspective without the need to confront difficult or intimidating texts in their entirety. • Biographical descriptions of famous philosophers and their views help students recognize philosophical ideas and texts as the work of real people with experiences and struggles relevant to students’ own lives, providing an invaluable human connection to help them understand and appreciate even difficult course material.

Constructing CRITICAL THINKING, 2E The Art of Argument George W. Rainbolt, Georgia State University; Sandra L. Dwyer, Georgia State University 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. NEW TO THIS EDITION • The semiformal method, unique to this text, is reinforced by making more visible the connection between the application of the method and how the reasoning skills derived from it actually help students in other classes, at work, and in their daily lives. A Key Form margin note points to each use of the semiformal method, and a new section, Argument Forms Studied in the Chapter, emphasizes the importance of form. www.cengageasia.com 46 • Coverage of fallacies has been increased by 40%. The nine additional fallacies presented are Composition, Division, Amphiboly, Red Herring, False Precision, Accent, Common Cause, Appeal to Force, and Appeal to Pity. • The discussion of unstated premises is completely revised in light of testing with students. The revised discussion simplifies the use of unstated premises. • The format for standardizing and diagramming arguments has been reworked to make standardizations and diagrams clearer and easier to understand. • The discussion of causal arguments has been streamlined to help students identify the underlying form of causal arguments. • The learning outcomes, which open each chapter of this book, are visually tied to the textual explanations and to exercise sets that pertain to each. This interconnection of the learning outcomes to the text and practice provides a tool for instructors and students to measure progress: it helps demonstrate improved outcomes and facilitates students’ review and preparation for exams. • This edition emphasizes the relevance of the content to students’ lives and goals and helps connect it to the real world. Examples and exercises have been revised to rely on more real-world references from diverse areas such as social media, current events, popular arts (music, video, film). • In response to reviewer comments, the marginal Key Concepts feature has been modified to help users identify more clearly why each of these is highlighted. These at-a-glance aids now identify three different types of material: Key Terms highlight important terms presented in the text and include their definition; Key Concepts point to fundamental concepts that students need to know to succeed in college; and Key Forms identify argument forms that students need to master. These forms are all in the semiformal format. In addition, the Technical Terms pedagogical tools have been revised to best help students grasp the content and include exclusively those terms likely to be used in further academic coursework. FEATURES • This text has been class-tested over the course of three years with more than 10,000 students and more than 50 instructors. • A dedication to accuracy and rigor yields clarity and conciseness, particularly the presentation of Analogical, Statistical, and Causal Arguments in chapters seven, eight, and nine.
