Synopsis

This revised, 2nd edition of Logic Made Clear is designed for readers interested in learning basic concepts and methods of logic. It introduces the principles and step by step procedures indispensable for analyzing written or verbal communication, especially that involving argumentation. The topics covered include: paradoxes of reason; the meaning, imprecision, and definitions of linguistic expressions; a procedure for identifying deductive and inductive arguments and determining their validity; propositional and quantificational systems of logic; analyzing and diagraming arguments; and classification and detection of fallacies, with emphasis on faulty analogy. For exercises the book employs diverse academic and non-academic sources. The book can be used as a self-guided study by any independent learner or as a framework for a college-level course in logic.
