Logic For Dummies

I bought this book as I'm doing a Logic module as part of my philosophy degree, and the textbook we were given is so complicated, I wasn't understanding the work. Logic for Dummies is brilliant, because it sets everything out nice and clearly, and had me understanding some of the basics that more complicated books often forget. I managed to read the first two chapters without my attention wavering, and I would highly recommend this to anyone studying Logic and struggling with their course books.The only thing I would say, is that there are no practice puzzles, so I have to use two textbooks to get the full use out of the module. But other than that, it's great!

As expected

These dummies books are brilliant

A very good book, well written and well presented. I would definitely recommend iot to anyone out there with an interest, it makes for a very good introduction to many of the concepts and terms within logical thinking.

Great book. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because I think the author contradicts himself or says things that aren't true. I am wondering whether I am mad or whether the author is a bit drunk. Check this out, see if you can make sense of this to me:In the paragraph:'When you connect an inconsistent set of statements into a single statement by repeated use of the &-operator, the resulting statement is a contradiction.'In the side-bar, a few moments down the book:'When you connect an inconsistent set of statements into a single statement by repeated use of the &-operator, the result- ing statement is not a contradiction'Am I going crazy? Or is that literally the opposite of what he just said? This is so hilarious that this is a logic book and he was talking about contradictions? Is this a logician's way of making a joke?

This item is good if you need to know about the basic subject. Not great if you need a more academic read.

I was looking for instructions for Logic software for Apple. This book was advertised next to these books, however is a book on philosophy
