As the name implies, this book is an intoduction into formal, logical thinking. The mechanics of the syllogism, and the world of logical fallacies are laid bare. The book is a fine exposure to an area that certainly needs more utilization.
The Latin for all the fallacies are herein, just the thing for you to lose all your friends.
Textbook, No Comment.
