СКАЧАТЬ abundant examples. Newcomers to philosophy will find much in here that will help them to understand the subject.’

       David S. Oderberg,University of Reading

      ‘. . . the average person who is interested in arguments and logic but who doesn’t have much background in philosophy would certainly find this book useful, as would anyone teaching a course on arguments, logic, and reasoning. Even introductory courses on philosophy in general might benefit because the book lays out so many of the conceptual “tools” which will prove necessary over students’ careers.’

       About.com

      ‘Its choice of tools for basic argument . . . is sound, while further tools for argument . . . move through topics and examples concisely and wittily . . . Sources are well chosen and indicated step by step. Sections are cross‐referenced (making it better than the Teach Yourself “100 philosophical concepts”) and supported by a useful index.’

       Reference Reviews

      “This book is . . . an encyclopedia of philosophy. It should be of great use as a quick and accurate reference guide to the skill of philosophy, especially for beginners, but also for instructors . . . highly recommended.”

       Choice

      “The Philosopher’s Toolkit is a very good book. It could be highly useful for both introductory courses in philosophy, or philosophical methodology, as well as independent study for anyone interested in the methods of argument, assessment and criticism . . . It is unique in approach, and written in a pleasant and considerate tone. This book will help one to get going to do philosophy, but more advanced students might find this text helpful too. I wish I had had access to this book as an undergraduate.”
