Each chapter contains an illustrative story to help apply the abstract ideas, such as rational thought and moral and ethical reflection, to concrete, everyday situations. There is also a complete children's story at the end of the book to help you introduce philosophy to children.

This book explains the essential elements of critical thinking and why it is integral to the lifelong process of becoming educated.
