Synopsis

A Syllabus of Logic: With Questions and Exercises helps you grasp the foundations of logic, from core principles to practical reasoning. Clear, student‑oriented explanations make ideas accessible and useful for study and everyday thinking.


The book introduces the major areas of logic in a logical progression: definitions of thought and belief, the distinction between deduction and induction, the structure of judgments and propositions, the analysis of terms and predication, and the many common fallacies that can mislead reasoning. It emphasizes how logical ideas connect to real-world understanding, with guidance through questions and exercises to reinforce learning.



  • Learn how to identify arguments, premises, and conclusions in everyday language and formal form.

  • Explore the rules of definition, division, and classification to build precise concepts and terms.

  • Recognize and critique common fallacies to improve critical thinking and reasoning skills.


Ideal for students of philosophy, logic, or anyone seeking a solid, approachable introduction to logical thinking.
