Art of Reasoning

An inviting alternative to traditional texts in introductory logic, The Art of Reasoning is widely acclaimed for its conversational tone and accessible exposition of rigorous logical concepts. The Third Edition has been meticulously updated and continues the successful pedagogical approach of the two previous editions, guiding students through the fundamental elements of formal deductive logic, classification and definition, fallacies, basic argument analysis, inductive generalization, statistical reasoning, and explanation.
In addition, the Third Edition features an expanded ancillary package, including LogicTutor, an interactive software program offering review exercises and tutorials, Readings for Logical Analysis, a collection of diverse readings that complement the core text, and a revised Instructor’s Manual and Test Bank.
