Many philosophy professors regard Copi as the official authority in logic. This text is by far the most complete treatment of introductory logic, both deductive and inductive, both classical and modern. It is the standard text in logic today --the paradigm of clarity and accuracy. This text enables all students to understand, recognize, and apply classical syllogistic logic and the more powerful techniques of modern symbolic logic. Lively argumentative excerpts from politics, philosophy, science, and contemporary included.
