Introduction to Logic
Introduction to Logic is clear and concise, uses interesting examples (many philosophical in nature), and has easy-to-use proof methods. Its key features, retained in this Third Edition, include:
- simpler ways to test arguments, including an innovative proof method and the star test for syllogisms;
- a wide scope of materials, suiting it for introductory or intermediate courses;
- engaging examples, from philosophy and everyday life;
- useful for self-study and preparation for standardized tests, like the LSAT;
- a reasonable price (a third the cost of some competitors); and
- exercises that correspond to the free LogiCola instructional program.
