Logic A foundation of Critical Thinking

Authors: Jensen DG. Mañebog,  Jeremias F. Buraga,  Rafael Y. Paragas,  Ma. Rubeth R. Hipolito

BECAUSE THINKING CORRECTLY is an integral part of who we are as human beings, the idea of helping people develop their reasoning ability involves expanding who they are as rational beings. This is one of the many reasons teaching a course in Logic and Critical Thinking is perpetually exciting and gratifying.

Teaching students the subject Logic is equipping them with useful intellectual tools which also refine their viewpoint from which they view the world. As Logic also calls for the need to evaluate and persistently reassess one's concepts and even values, this academic discipline, in effect, aptly guides people in making wise decisions in life. Moreover, clear understanding of many things oftentimes leads to properly looking at the world and life itself. The dictum thus resounds: Logic, as is the case with other branches of Philosophy, may not teach us how to make a living, but it could teach us that life is worth living.

This book in Logic is written to serve as a comprehensive introduction to reasoning and Critical Thinking. It humbly aims to help the readers develop thinking abilities needed for academic study and career success as it fosters relatively advanced intellectual and language abilities.

Furthermore, sensible and easy-to-understand examples are carefully chosen for each topic.

    As we stand at the edge of these challenging years, gazing out into its uncharted expanse, some of us feel as if we are stepping out onto a launching pad; others feel at the brink of an abyss. Some see the challenges and the marvels to come and are exhilarated; some see only the certainty of change and its uncertain outcomes and are apprehensive. How amazing it is to note that many instructional materials, textbooks, in particular remained as they were.

    This book is a response to the challenge of writing a newer book in the humanities course. It includes features to aid the students in the understanding of the subject.

    A. Each chapter has the following features to help both the instructor and the student.1

    1. An overview of the chapter
    2. Learning objectives

  • Humanities Art Appreciation

    Authors: Ricardo A. Clores, Jeffrey A. Lubang, Mary Ann J. Salvador, Virginia T. Sanfilip, and Jovito R. Santos Jr.

    Where do we put the humanities and the arts in a nation that budges and prods its students, like a mantra recited on a daily basis, to take skilled works? Today, the demands of the First World markets are nurses, caregivers and call center agents. Tomorrow, First World needs might shift to hotel and restaurant management practitioners, plumbers, electricians, automechanics and the like. As the country sinks deeper in its economic woes, at the same time tightens its grip even more to First World needs, students are left with no other choice but to submit. Not that there is anything wrong with being a caregiver or a call center agent, if this is what a student truly wants, but the condition paints even more of the pathetic and dwindling opportunities and possibilities for Filipino students.
