5.0 out of 5 stars Elements of Logic a brief review
I have just purchased the Elements of Logic and it has already proven to be a huge help in my studies and work of apologetics. It was quoted in a video I launched on YouTube and has been used to give definitions of logical terms and phrases in the comments section as well. I would rank it second only to Copi and Hurley but a well written 3rd text book. It is definitely...

2 FOR Irish PUT English:BOOLE WAS ENGLISH, BUT HE TAUGHT IN IRELAND.
THE MISTAKE THAT HE WAS IRISH OCCURS ELSEWHERE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN ROSENBLOOM'S BOOK.

49: "logical independence" has not been defined.

222 FOR their meanings PUT they: AS STATED ON PAGE 29, WORDS NOT MEANINGS ARE AMBIGUOUS.

360 FOR truth-funcitonal PUT truth-functional

364 FOR Tertia Derapti PUT Tertia Darapti
Derapti is invalid: it has a negative major but an affirmative conclusion. The mistake occurs elsewhere, for example in Kneebone's book.

3.0 out of 5 stars logic, January 9, 2006
This review is from: The Elements of Logic (Hardcover)
This book is good in its explations but it does not contain enough. There are no answers to the excercises so you don't know if you are studying properly. The CD is just another book PDF. No interactive excersises that help or anything of the sort. Stay away from this book if you can!

I have just purchased the Elements of Logic and it has already proven to be a huge help in my studies and work of apologetics. It was quoted in a video I launched on YouTube and has been used to give definitions of logical terms and phrases in the comments section as well. I would rank it second only to Copi and Hurley but a well written 3rd text book. It is definitely money well invested and will sharpen up your logical skills. I encourage a perusal of this well written volume.
