Summary: Logical arguments HERE WE COME!
Comment: I recommend this book to anyone who believes in clear, rational thought. If you are good at thinking, it will help you get better. And if you aren't very good at argumentation, then definately buy it!

I used this text in a philosophy class on logic and found it a refreshingly GOOD text. Too often professors assign texts that are either irrelevant to what we are studying or texts that are so poorly written as to be rendered useless.

I always thought I was good at logic, but this text (and the class to be honest) gave me some tools to hone that skill.

This text does a wonderful job of explaining the rules and terminology behind logical argumentation, giving examples to back those explanations up, and then giving you exercises to practice your fledgling argumentation skills.

Do you know what it means to beg the question? Are you guilty of amphiboly? Do you realize it when politicians try to pull a fast one on you with semantic ambiguity?

Don't know what I'm talking about? Well, pick up this book and you will!
