Features: Connecting logic with critical thinking and discussing them together is an attempt. There are some books abroad that specifically discuss critical thinking because readers there often already have a general foundation in logic. Domestic readers might prefer to read about critical thinking alongside logic. The effort of this attempt mainly lies in: first, general theoretical analysis of critical thinking; second, clarifying the relationship between logic and critical thinking theoretically; third, explaining the thinking significance of logical forms and methods at a micro level; fourth, strengthening research on logical applications and case analysis; fifth, enriching the content of informal logic, especially informal argumentation. On the other hand, we also need to examine the logical system itself with the lens of critical thinking to make the logical system more perfect.
