Item description from seller

Paperback. 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 students 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 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 Aristotles division of the three acts of the mind (Prior Analytics 1.1). Formal logic is then taken up in Aristotles 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. The emphasis in Logic as a Liberal Art is on learning logic through doing problems. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
