The present guide on critical philological thinking, or analytical reading, provides a stylistically-oriented list of definitions and analytic apparatus that leads students in identifying and articulating the central patterns found in reasoning and expository writing more generally. Understanding these patterns of reasoning helps students to better analyse, evaluate, and construct arguments and easily comprehend the full range of ideas found in analytical reading. The guide distinguishes itself from other instructive materials in the field of Philology by emphasizing analytical reading as an essential skill of a master of the word. Opening with two introductory chapters on analytical reading that help students recognize what makes critical thinking explicitly different from other philological activities, the guide presents a long-time established scheme of analysis. This scheme allows a detailed articulation of inference to the best explanation and gives students a view of the pervasiveness of this form of reasoning. Designed for senior students of the language departments, a guide on analytical reading features tens of useful language patterns and includes worked-out solutions and examples.
