Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Handbook of Logic The present volume makes no pretensions to being anything more than is implied in its title. It is elementary, and it is a handbook. Being elementary, it omits all the subtler questions which frequently find a place in extended treatises on Logic. Being a handbook, it is not designed for private study, but for use in the classroom. It does not attempt to provide a detailed explanation of the various topics as they come up for study. This has been left to the teacher, whose exposition of the doctrine would probably be embarrassed and rendered less effective if his pupils were confronted with long and unnecessary comments in the text. A special effort has been made to combine clearness with brevity, so that once the student has received the teacher's explanation, he may have a lucid epitome which will enable him to recall with facility all the essential principles of Logic. The volume departs in two particulars from the common method of treatment. First, a distinction has been drawn between the Act of Inference and the Process of Inference, and a separate chapter has been devoted to each. This will probably be found to simplify the explanation of Reasoning and to bring out the essential identity of form which underlies the various types of argument. Secondly, the hypothesis of the Distribution of the Predicate has been abandoned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Toohey's manual is an excellent text-book for the classrooms of academics, colleges and seminaries, and it would be advisable for all teachers of logic to consider its advantages before deciding on the book they will use in their courses of next year. It is brief and clear. It avoids diffuseness and jejuneness; and while covering the entire subject in a way quite sufficient for the student's needs, it leaves full freedom to the teacher for personal initiative and development. It is essentially a textbook for classroom work, written by the professor of logic in Georgetown University, with whom the science of logic, long before he began to teach it, had been a hobby. It is designed especially to meet the difficulties, requirements and turn of mind of American students. A minute outline of chapters and an exhaustive index, covering thirteen pages, of topics, facilitate reference, which is made still easier by a judicious employment of black-faced type for definitions when they first occur, and by the use of numbers for paragraphs, to which the student is constantly sent back, as occasion requires. Throughout the volume's 241 pages extreme care has been taken with the wording of the text, and the examples, old and new, serve as excellent illustrations. The subject-matter, which it has been the fashion to consider cut and dried and stereotyped beyond the possibility of change, has an element of novelty which is refreshing. The laws of thought are, of course, enunciated as heretofore, but on the explanation of them Father Toohey has not feared to show considerable originality. These divergences from stock statements stimulate discussion, clear away inconsistencies and on further reflection commend themselves with growing insistence. Such, for example, are the distinction between the act and process of inference, the treatment of the predicables and categories, the chapter on education and the remarks on the modal proposition. The most distinctive parts of the book are the chapters which treat of the categorical syllogism. The author has found that his new theory simplifies the subject in a remarkable way for the student. The explanation of fallacies, which was written with the distinct purpose of giving a name and a description to the methods of attack made on the Church, is very valuable; and the discussion of the author's views on the distribution of the predicate, to say the least, challenges serious attention. The book has already been adopted in several higher institutions of learning. -America, Volume 19 [1918]

Download or read book ELEMENTARY LOGIC REV ED P written by W. V. QUINE and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now much revised since its first appearance in 1941, this book, despite its brevity, is notable for its scope and rigor. It provides a single strand of simple techniques for the central business of modern logic. Basic formal concepts are explained, the paraphrasing of words into symbols is treated at some length, and a testing procedure is given for truth-function logic along with a complete proof procedure for the logic of quantifiers. Fully one third of this revised edition is new, and presents a nearly complete turnover in crucial techniques of testing and proving, some change of notation, and some updating of terminology. The study is intended primarily as a convenient encapsulation of minimum essentials, but concludes by giving brief glimpses of further matters.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1914, this book presents an exposition of the elementary principles of logic. The text is divided into two main parts. The first part discusses the older system of logic, defined, in this context, as 'a carefully limited subject to get up for an elementary examination'. The second part discusses the modern system of logic, defined as 'a free study of some of the chief risks of error in reasoning'. Notes are incorporated throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in logic and philosophy.
Download or read book Introductory Logic Student Tex written by 5th Edition and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying formal logic can be intimidating without the right help, but knowing how to think logically isn't just for "experts." Logic should be your secret weapon. It's the tool for learning how to use other tools. It's the bones that give a clenched fist its structure (and knuckles). With that in mind, we have painstakingly designed Introductory Logic for everyday students, teachers, and parents who've never tackled syllogisms or fallacies before, but who know just how important learning logic is. In Introductory Logic, you'll get the benefit of James B. Nance's twenty years of teaching experience as you learn the fundamentals you need to think well wherever you are, including: How to properly define terms for maximum precision and accuracy -- and thus win the debate, How to form and interpret statements, the building blocks of logical thought, How to compose valid syllogisms, and -- just as importantly -- expose the invalid fakes using counterexamples, How to analyze arguments in norm
Download or read book Handbook of Logic and Proof Techniques for Computer Science written by Steven G. Krantz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic is, and should be, the core subject area of modern mathemat ics. The blueprint for twentieth century mathematical thought, thanks to Hilbert and Bourbaki, is the axiomatic development of the subject. As a result, logic plays a central conceptual role. At the same time, mathematical logic has grown into one of the most recondite areas of mathematics. Most of modern logic is inaccessible to all but the special ist. Yet there is a need for many mathematical scientists-not just those engaged in mathematical research-to become conversant with the key ideas of logic. The Handbook of Mathematical Logic, edited by Jon Bar wise, is in point of fact a handbook written by logicians for other mathe maticians. It was, at the time of its writing, encyclopedic, authoritative, and up-to-the-moment. But it was, and remains, a comprehensive and authoritative book for the cognoscenti. The encyclopedic Handbook of Logic in Computer Science by Abramsky, Gabbay, and Maibaum is a wonderful resource for the professional. But it is overwhelming for the casual user. There is need for a book that introduces important logic terminology and concepts to the working mathematical scientist who has only a passing acquaintance with logic. Thus the present work has a different target audience. The intent of this handbook is to present the elements of modern logic, including many current topics, to the reader having only basic mathe matical literacy.
Download or read book Elementary Logic written by Brian Garrett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary Logic explains what logic is, how it is done, and why it can be exciting. The book covers the central part of logic that all students have to learn: propositional logic. It aims to provide a crystal-clear introduction to what is often regarded as the most technically difficult area in philosophy. The book opens with an explanation of what logic is and how it is constructed. Subsequent chapters take the reader step-by-step through all aspects of elementary logic. Throughout, ideas are explained simply and directly, with the chapters packed with overviews, illustrative examples, and summaries. Each chapter builds on previous explanation and example, with the final chapters presenting more advanced methods. After a discussion of meta-logic and logical systems, the book closes with an exploration of how paradoxes can exist in the world of logic. Elementary Logic's clarity and engagement make it ideal for any reader studying logic for the first time.

Book excerpt: It's never too early to start building thinking skills—skills that will spill over into other areas of the curriculum and into real life. Primarily Logic consists of a series of units designed to introduce logical thinking to young students. It is an excellent, easy-to-use starting point for teaching well-established forms of logical thinking. Each skill is introduced with examples, and then worksheets give students an opportunity to practice the skill. Group lessons and worksheets provide practice in: finding relationships, analogies, thinking logically using “all” and “none” statements, syllogisms, and deductive reasoning using logic puzzles. Logical thinking is both enjoyable and challenging for students as they build a sound foundation for further instruction in critical thinking. Suggestions for related activities are included in the Instructions for Teachers section. For easier logic activities for younger students, try Lollipop Logic. Grades 2-4
