Critical Thinking Web Exchange

"First comes clear thinking, then comes clear writing."

In this forum, we offer exercises and examples to support, expand, and supplement The Pocket Guide to Critical Thinking and other works from ARF.  We post and discuss examples of reasoning — good, bad, and puzzling — wherever we find them in our studies, science, news, politics, humor, and daily life.  We welcome instructors and students using our books to discuss them here, and to share their own examples, exercises, and experiences.  All postings and all comments are checked by our Web Editor for accuracy and civility.
