STANDARDS UNDER PRESSURE: Critical Thinking When Lives Depend On ItStandards Under Pressure examines 37 historical situations—from Tenerife to Three Mile Island, from the Challenger disaster to the sinking of the Titanic—through a single lens: which of the 15 intellectual standards of sound reasoning failed, how, and what it cost.
Deductive logic outlines a structured approach to understanding how reasoning works through relationships between statements, focusing on how conclusions follow when initial assumptions are accepted.

Bounded Meaning investigates the dynamics of interpretation: how and why the interpretation of the building blocks of human language is sensitive, not just to the context in which the expression is used, but also to the expression's linguistic environment-in other words, how and why interpretation depends not just on global information, but also on local information.

Descartes's Method develops an ontological interpretation of Descartes's method as a dynamic and, within limits, differentiable problem-solving cognitive disposition or habitus, which can be actualized or applied to different problems in various ways, depending on the nature of the problem.
