A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic by Karl Laderoute

A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic by Karl Laderoute

A succinct primer meant especially for those without any prior background in logic. Its brevity makes it well-suited to introductory courses with a formal logic component, and its friendly tone offers a welcoming introduction to this often intimidating subject.

“A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic is an excellent and very affordable introduction to sentence logicThe text covers symbolization, truth-tables, and proofs in a lucid and non-technical manner. I highly recommend this text to any instructor who wants to add a symbolic logic component to a course on logic and critical thinking.” — René Jagnow, University of Georgia

“Karl Laderoute manages to pack a lot of formal propositional logic into a relatively small space, and yet his book is friendly, moves at a peaceful pace, leaves out nothing germane to an introductory course, and explains well all the traditional topics of propositional logic. A Pocket Guide gets to the point, but is not hurried, nor is the discussion over-simplified. This is quite an achievement.” — Eric Dietrich, Binghamton University

“A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic is a concise, affordable, and gentle introduction to propositional logic. The proof system uses intuitive rules, and includes many redundant rules, so constructing proofs is a breeze. This book would be a good choice for many critical thinking courses in philosophy departments.” — Thomas Donaldson, Simon Fraser University

Karl Laderoute holds a PhD in Philosophy from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He has taught philosophy at the University of Lethbridge and Trent University.
