Notes

  1. Reason in the Balance, 2nd ed., p. 26. Note that in the book there are only 5 steps. This 6-step version is from Mark Battersby’s keynote speech addressed to the 7th China Conference on Critical Thinking & Creativity, Chengdu, China, 2017. Step 5 as listed here is implicit in the textbook’s version. I think the 6-step version is clearer and would like to base my discussion on this version.
