Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

In the twenty-first century there are two ways to study logic. The more recent approach is symbolic logic. The history of teaching logic since World War II however casts doubt on the idea that symbolic logic is best for a first logic course. Logic as a Liberal Art is designed as part of a minority approach teaching logic in the 'verbal' way in the student's 'natural' language the approach invented by Aristotle. On utilitarian grounds alone this 'verbal' approach is superior for a first course in logic for the whole range of students. For millennia this 'verbal' approach to logic was taught in conjunction with grammar and rhetoric christened the trivium. The decline in teaching grammar and rhetoric in American secondary schools has led Dr. Rollen Edward Houser to develop this book. The first part treats grammar rhetoric and the essential nature of logic. Those teachers who look down upon rhetoric are free of course to skip those lessons. The treatment of logic itself follows Aristotle's division of the three acts of the mind Prior Analytics 1.1. Formal logic is then taken up in Aristotle's order with Parts on the logic of Terms Propositions and Arguments. The emphasis in Logic as a Liberal Art is on learning logic through doing problems. Consequently there are more problems in each lesson than would be found for example in many textbooks. In addition a special effort has been made to have easy medium and difficult problems in each Problem Set. In this way the problem sets are designed to offer a challenge to all students from those most in need of a logic course to the very best students. | Pages: 481.…
