AB  - The aim of this book is not to offer solutions to a set of ethical dilemmas, but to encourage readers to do the thinking for themselves about these issues.  Underlying this text are three important aspects of critical thinking – the ability to understand and evaluate arguments, the ability to make well-reasoned decisions, and the tendency to be fair-minded. Certain distinct skills are involved in the assessment of arguments and in good decision-making ; for example, recognising reasons, conclusions and unstated assumptions, drawing conclusions, appraising evidence, evaluating statements and principles, and analysing words, phrases and concepts. The book offers practice in these reasoning skills, so that the skills can be both applied to topics within the text, and also carried over to topics not included in the book. These issues include topics in the area of medicine, matters of life and death such as euthanasia and capital punishment, and questions as diverse as whether religion should be taught in schools and whether boxing should be banned  -- Provided by publisher.
