书籍简介：

Introduction to Logic is clear and concise, uses interesting examples (many philosophical in nature), and has easy-to-use proof methods. Its key features, retained in this Third Edition, include: • simpler ways to test arguments, including an innovative proof method and the star test for syllogisms; • a wide scope of materials, suiting it for introductory or intermediate courses; • engaging examples, from philosophy and everyday life; • useful for self-study and preparation for standardized tests, like the LSAT; • a reasonable price (a third the cost of some competitors); and • exercises that correspond to the free LogiCola instructional program. This Third Edition: • improves explanations, especially on areas that students find difficult; • has a fuller explanation of traditional Copi proofs and of truth trees; and • updates the companion LogiCola software, which now is touch friendly (for use on Windows tablets and touch monitors), installs more easily on Windows and Macintosh, and adds exercises on Copi proofs and on truth trees. You can still install LogiCola for free (from http://www.harryhiker.com/lc or http://www.routledge.com/cw/gensler)

书友短评：

@ Nemo sum （从一个外行看来：）系统、清晰、简洁。超爱LogiCola！ @ robin9997 给跳过前言的朋友们附上课后习题答案。https://harryhiker.com/lc/docs/manual2.pdf从11章开始阅读难度变得有些高，希望中文早点出（已经鸽了3年）。 @ [己注销] 简单实用，优质入门书。LogiCola做得很好。 @ Insolubilia 这本书给了我一种我也能阅读英文书的错觉，后半部分讲道义逻辑的可以算是作者的私货了，不过也至少能够让人知道如何应用现代逻辑来讨论哲学问题。 @ 皱了 （从一个外行看来：）系统、清晰、简洁。超爱LogiCola！
