Description
Thinking to Some Purpose by Susan Stebbing offers practical guidance on how to think clearly and critically. Despite advances in education and knowledge, many people struggle with clear thinking, often ignoring evidence and swayed by rhetoric rather than reason. Stebbing's 1939 book provides useful tips and insights on how to improve critical thinking, spot illogical statements, and rely on reason rather than emotion. Written against the backdrop of rising dictatorships and collapsing democracies in Europe, Stebbing's advice remains relevant today. This Routledge edition includes a new Foreword by Nigel Warburton and an Introduction by Peter West, providing historical and philosophical context for Stebbing's work.
