About this title

Synopsis

Today's professionals need to construct good arguments and understand that using logic is important to their success. With excellent examples from real-life sources—including film, news media, pop culture, court cases, letters to editors, philosophical, and scientific works—A First Course in Logic helps readers see how logic relates to real life and makes the material more accessible and engaging. Over 1,000 exercises are included and questions similar to those on the LSAT show readers how what they are learning is relevant to pre-professional exams.

About the Author

K. Codell Carter believes that teaching should be a conversation between friends, and he wrote A First Course in Logic to reflect this ideal. He has taught more than four thousand beginning logic students throughout his teaching career.

Carter is currently a professor at Brigham Young University where, in addition to logic courses, he teaches courses on the history of philosophy (especially Kant and Marx) along with freshman and junior level writing courses. He received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and his Masters of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Utah and holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Cornell University.

His publications include works on 19th and 20th Century medicine, and when not thinking about ways to make the study of logic more relevant to students' lives, he enjoys backpacking, gardening, fly fishing, old books, and mountain lakes above the timberline.
