Argument
Critical Thinking, Logic and the Fallacies (2nd edn)
(Prentice Hall, 2004)
ART 203
This book is designed for use in critical-thinking courses and traditional logic courses in both philosophy and general-education departments. It will be of interest to students at both the university and college level. The book emphasizes developments in modern logic and the connections between logic and other disciplines. Discussion of the fallacies is helpfully integrated with modern logic in a way not seen in other texts. The book provides students with the tools they need to evaluate their own thinking, as well as many classic arguments found in the history of logic. More than simply a collection of logic exercises, the book gives readers an understanding of some of the most interesting theoretical developments in logic and critical thinking from Aristotle to the present day.

The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.
Artwork displayed as part of this project – including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers – is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.
How to Submit Artwork
If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO’s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca.
