Logical Help!

[LiteraryAddict]

Hi All,

So I need to solicit some help from you fine literary bunch. I'm looking for a non fiction book that is about Logic and can explain it to me. I don't want one of those "Logic for Dummies" things because that makes me feel like a dummy, but still something of that genre. I took a logic class way back when and all I remember is "If Matt Damon doesn't go to a party then Ben Affleck also does not go to the party". While entertaining, there's not much else I remember.

Thanks in advance!

I took a logic class a couple summers ago and I loved, loved it. I'll have to see if I still have that book, because it was pretty darned good.

If you do find the book, if you could give me the title that would be fantastic!!! My father-in-law gave me a book but I think it's a bit above my head. Of course, I won't be telling him that!

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but the "Argumentation" course from The Great Courses is on a closely related subject. I just finished this course and it was excellent. There courses are fairly cheap (usually less than $50 bucks per course, you just have to ask for the current discount b/c they always have one going).

I looked all over in the office, no go. If I did keep it, the thing might be in the garage. I'll have a look-see. It was neat.

Thank you SO much! I've taken some of the Great Courses before and even found some in my library. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. But thank you so much!!

This was the textbook I used in my logic class, albeit an older edition: Introduction to Logic
