ABSTRACT

There are many different reasons to study logic. Logic is the theory of good reasoning. Studying logic not only helps you to reason well, but it also helps you understand how reasoning works.

Logic can be done in two ways-it can be formal and it can be philosophical. This book concentrates on both aspects of logic. So, we’ll be examining the techniques that logicians use in modelling good reasoning. This ‘modelling’ is formal and technical, just like the formal modelling you see in other disciplines, such as the physical and social sciences and economics.
