4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting tour of philosophers
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book provides an interesting review of philosophers and the history of critical thinking. For me, the amount of detail on each philosopher was too brief and the application of each philosopher contribution could have been explored a lot more thoroughly. However, this level of detail might be quite appropriate for people who are initiated to philosophy. If you have not taken a philosophy course in college, this book can serve as a nice introduction. You might just discover that philosophy is more relevant than you thought and can provide assistance in critical thinking about modern issues.

While not being an exercise on critical. It does provide a very quick and brief overview of the history and methods of critical thinking, without actually providing a concise methodology that would help the would-be-reader to actually apply these teachings.

I enjoyed the content and presentation of this concise, and thus somewhat superficial, reminder of who and how we as a humanity have developed our thinking. The need to question our selves is fundamental to growth, and this short but enjoyable read was an excellent reminder of this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok for background - but not written by a philosopher or academic
Reviewed in Australia on November 5, 2020
Verified Purchase
Straight off the bat - the author doesn’t even know the correct names of philosophers. Referring to revered Scottish philosopher David Hume as “Desmond Hume” which was totally astounding they could even get this wrong, as I’m quite sure this is the name of a fictional character in some TV series. I was expecting a thorough, academic and accurate book about critical thinking, however this is more of a brief history on a number of philosophers, with very little depth as to the way in which their history of ideas relate to critical thinking. I stopped reading instantly when I saw the famous David Hume referred to as Desmond. I can see why this is free but honestly you are better off reading something online from a reputable source or going to the library. Please fix the book as it is most definitely David Hume and not Desmond Hume.
