A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic

A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic Synopsis

A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic is a succinct primer meant especially for those without any prior background in logic. Its brevity makes it well-suited to introductory courses in critical thinking or introductory philosophy with a formal logic component, and its friendly tone offers a welcoming introduction to this often-intimidating subject. The book provides a focused presentation of common methods used in statement logic, including translations, truth tables, and proofs. Supplemental materials-including more detailed treatments of select methods and concepts as well as additional sample questions and answers-are available on a companion website.
