Description

“The Bluedorn brothers authored The Fallacy Detective, and The Thinking Toolbox is really a next step up from that book. Suggested for ages thirteen and up, it still focuses on informal logic, just presenting more complex examples, applications, and questions. The book is divided into three main section with an additional smaller section of suggested activities and logic games to play. The three main sections are Tools for Thinking, Tools for Opposing Viewpoints, and Tools for Science. The first section, Tools for Thinking, follows the same vein as The Fallacy Detective focusing primarily on arguments. It addresses topics such as differences between discussions, disagreements, arguments, and fights; facts, inferences, and opinions; identifying the premises and conclusion of an argument; and when it is wise not to use logic. I was really glad to see that lesson 7, considering opponents’ arguments, uses some of the hard questions about Genesis as the first example. They don’t supply you with the counterarguments here, but they will make you think about what you need to know to enter into a challenging discussion of the topic.” Cathy Duffy Reviews
