This is a logic book for beginners. It is written both for the college student
and the “do-it yourselfer”. You may be asking yourself, why do we need another book on traditional logic? It is true that there are many traditional logic books out there, but often these works of wisdom are out of print and collecting dust
in libraries since the trend today is contemporary symbolic logic, and an additional problem is that these older texts are often inaccessible to today’s beginner because the language is too technical for one not well versed in Aristotelian philosophy. This coupled with a need for more diagrams in such a text that might prove helpful to the
“visual learner” amounts to what seems to me to be a need for yet another text on
traditional logic.
I hope to remedy these defects here. Now of course, a logic text by its very nature is always going to be a tough read for the beginner, but I have tried as much as possible not to make it any tougher than it needs to be. Logical terms are, I hope, patiently explained in easy to understand everyday language, numerous diagrams are provided to help the beginner to visually process the information, and finally a plethora of exercises will give the student plenty of opportunity for practice.
