9780364430613: An Introduction to General Logic (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

A clear, accessible start to general logic that builds from everyday thought to formal reasoning.

This introduction aims to help beginners grasp the ideas and methods that underlie all logical study.

Grounded in the notion that logic is the science of the import and relations of propositions, this edition presents a connected, brief sketch of the subject. It emphasizes that logic is a distinct discipline, not a branch of psychology, and it organizes topics from definitions of propositions and terms to the structure of inference, induction, and proof. The book is designed for teaching beginners and to serve as a compact guide to the key concepts of logic.

  • Understand how propositions express meaning and how terms determine subject and predicate.
  • Differentiate categorical, conditional, hypothetical, and alternative propositions.
  • Explore how inference, induction, and relation play roles in reasoning across disciplines.
  • See how logical methods are applied to analysis, justification, and interpretation of statements.

Ideal for readers new to logic, this edition offers a practical, structured overview that supports classroom study and independent learning.
