Synopsis

Symbolic Logic And The Game Of Logic is a book written by Lewis Carroll that delves into the world of logic and reasoning. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part being an introduction to symbolic logic and the second part being a discussion of the Game of Logic. In the first part, Carroll explains the basic principles of symbolic logic and its applications in mathematics, science, and philosophy. He discusses the use of symbols and diagrams to represent logical relationships and demonstrates how to use them to solve problems. In the second part, Carroll presents the Game of Logic, which is a game he created to teach logical reasoning. The game involves a board with a series of squares, each of which represents a proposition. Players move counters around the board to test the validity of logical arguments. The game is designed to be both educational and entertaining, and Carroll uses it to illustrate the principles of logic in a fun and engaging way.Overall, Symbolic Logic And The Game Of Logic is a fascinating exploration of the world of logic and reasoning. Carroll's clear and concise writing style makes it accessible to readers of all levels, and his use of examples and diagrams makes it easy to understand even complex concepts. Whether you are a student of philosophy, mathematics, or science, or simply interested in learning more about logical reasoning, this book is an excellent resource.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

Review

Yes, this is the Lewis Carroll who wrote Alice in Wonderland, and these two works show the same quirky humor. Here you see Carroll the mathematician at his playful best. Don't let the title of the first work mislead you--this isn't about modern symbolic logic but about ways of expressing classical logic with symbols. It's loaded with amusing problems to delight any mathematical puzzler. In the second work he turns logic into a game played with diagrams and colored counters, giving you hundreds of challenging and witty syllogisms to solve. Great mind-stretching fun.
