Recommended Books

The list below contains books and other sources that can deepen your knowledge about Critical Thinking
in general or about particular chapters of this MOOC. I have used all these sources while preparing this
course.

As a filmed/spoken course differs from a written paper and the flow cannot be easily interrupted, I could
not properly indicate every time a book or an author as source for examples or ideas. So here they are:

 A Rulebook for Arguments, Fourth Edition, by Anthony Weston

Stuart M. Keeley
