| Belief and Doubt |
| A Guide to Critical Thinking |
| 2nd Edition |
|
| by Dr. Kelley Wells |
|
In his book Belief and Doubt, Dr. Kelley Wells explores the intellectual, moral, and emotional components that define critical thinking as a concept and as a philosophy.
Research shows that people with better critical thinking abilities not only have better jobs and make more money but also have happier lives. To be able to think critically is a lifelong challenge for each one of us at every step. It is a skill that determines the soundness of decisions that ultimately govern our life.
Not only does critical thinking affect the lives of people on the individual level, it also affects a nation and its democracy as a whole. To facilitate prosperity, a nation needs the moderating influence of reason and the intelligent participation of its people.
Written in an easy to understand manner with examples from daily life, Belief and Doubt helps students gain an in-depth understanding of concepts such as critical thinking, deduction, induction, scientific reasoning, believing, weak arguments, and fallacies. As a result, it helps students fortify their analytical thinking skills to a large extent.
