Bailin and Battersby present a new approach to teaching critical thinking that puts coming to a reasoned judgment on complex issue as the heart of it. They provide instruction on how to go about the inquiry process and understanding the criteria to make such reasoned Judgement. Among their topics are the nature and value of inquiry, credible sources and appeals to experts, evaluating the arguments, and making a judgment and making a case. The final section applies inquiry in turn to the natural sciences, the social sciences, the arts, ethics, and the extraordinary. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
