Review the Content My Friend!,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Logic (13th Edition) (Hardcover)
Just bothers me to see this fine text with a low overall rating because some benighted guy--a previous reviewer--didn't like the condition of his personal copy of the book or how it was delivered. Does he know what a book review is?
In short, Copi and Cohen's text is a highly respected one and for good reason: it is rigorous, accurate, and elegantly written. The explanations are as clear as they can be. The exercises are plentiful, and many are taken from the _New York Times_, which makes them "real life" examples of arguments. That makes the exercises more difficult but ultimately more useful for logic students. Irving Copi is the original author of this book; Carl Cohen took over as co-author several editions ago, after Copi passed. There is a certain book on the market that outsells it, but that other book is modeled on Copi's and "dumbed down." (Logic instructors reading this know which book I am referring to.) So if you want the original great logic text rather than a book "made simple" for marketing purposes, look to Copi and Cohen.

Simply the best!,
This review is from: Introduction to Logic (13th Edition) (Hardcover)
This is still the very best book ever published for undergraduates of all disciplines and other interested non-specialists to learn the basics of logical reasoning and scientific arguments. The exercise collection is phantastic, and the very useful, easily accessible online self-test facility for the 13th edition is even better than the previous one.

The Standard: All Should Read it,
This review is from: Introduction to Logic (13th Edition) (Hardcover)
I liked this intro to such an important topic the first week in Seminary Class (Logic). The only draw-back was that I kept reading through it as I forsook too much of my other classes and their books.
The heady materal is easy to follow if you go in order. And it is helpful for students in any field. You must know these concepts and the truth therein will make you a better philosopher, scientist, housewife, epistemologist, pastor, and person. I know it sounds like I oversold this, but after many years, I still love it and since they keep releasing new editions, the author or his family keep raking in the bucks that were well-earned. Buy this and do not put it down: - Read it at the bank, - In the post office line - In the car at long stop lights, - At the DMV You will look forward to such boring events if this book is in hand. Send me your old copies when you are finished with yours if cannot sell it.
