Discovery of Deduction: An Introduction to Formal Logic

The Discovery of Deduction: An Introduction to Formal Logic will welcome your students into the fascinating realm of formal, deductive logic. Formal logic studies how an argument is put together the form or structure of an argument.

The Discovery of Deduction is geared directly toward students as young as 8th grade, making a subject usually reserved for study in college accessible and relevant to middle and high school, logic-stage students. The book emphasizes the practical and real-world application of soundly structured deductive logic. Using methods such as Socratic dialogue, ample discussion, and integration of other subjects, the book teaches formal logic in the best way for dialectic students.

Two of our boys (12 & 15) are taking The Discovery of Deduction and really enjoying it. Love to hear them analyzing each others arguments and seeking the quality and quantity of real life arguments as well. Great job, Classical Academic Press! --Amy, Facebook
