The Beginner’s Guide to Logic and Critical Thinking by Celestine kezie, Obinna Ikejimba

A Beginner’s Guide to Logic and Critical Thinking is intended for individuals seeking to improve their
critical thinking skills, including students, professionals, and indeed anyone curious about logical
reasoning. The reader does not require prior knowledge of logic or philosophy to be able to read the book
as the authors have tried to present the topics in simple language except where philosophical jargons
were unavoidable.
This book has many practical and relatable examples, most of which reflect the common experiences of
undergraduate students on campus. To help you firm your knowledge and understanding of the topics
discussed in the book, each of the eight chapters ends with practical questions.
By the end of this book, you will be able to understand the philosophical underpinning of some
contemporary issues, recognise and construct logical arguments, identify and challenge biases and
fallacies, develop critical and creative thinking skills for personal and professional growth and be able to
make a distinction between truth, beliefs, and opinions, particularly, in today’s world of dictatorship of
relativism. Reading this book will enhance your cognitive abilities and enrich your understanding of the world.
