I thought I’d lost this book – “Creative and Critical Thinking” by W.Edgar Moore – but just now found it hidden in my bookcase 🙂 It has copyrights back to 1955!
This was a book that was introduced to me by a friend back in my college days late 70’s time frame. He handed it to me in class one day in a very austere manner and said that I had “arrived” – it was too funny a moment. Anyway there are some really good chapters in here: Fallacies of Irrelevance, Pitfalls in Language, Value Judgements, Need-Directed Thinking, The Personal Point of View, False Assumptions, etc
Back then it really influenced me. I really enjoyed my college days learning about new ideas and learning different subjects.
