Learning Logic

It seems that this book would be great for kids probably 7 and over, if they have a tutor. If the tutor has never studied logic, it might be hard for the kids to learn the material in the latter part of the book. In any event, this is a good book to get started and if the tutor or the student does not know logic by the end of the book, it will show them how to further research the subject. Very well written and the illustrations are fantastic as well.

Everyone should study this book! Thinking would improve in the general population!

still hard to grasp but no one does this better than WLC

Great book for learning logic yourself or teaching it!

Good book for beginners in the study of Learning Logic. I bought this because I had a difficult time following philosophical and logic arguments and thought this book would be a good place to start. Craig lays out the foundations of learning logical thinking, but it would help if he explained it more, explained his examples more, and gave more examples. I had a difficult time understanding some of the reasoning. I'm a logical thinker by nature, it appears, but I don't understand the reasons why. Good book overall. It may be better for young students only because I remember how much easier it was to understand things when I was in school so many decades ago.

Excellent,good teaching.

Great

As a collector of books on logic and critical thinking, this is simply the best book on logic which is available in the market today.This is aimed at children, but to be honest, this book should be an essential reading for every English-speaking adult too.The rules of logic and inference are explained in a very easy way, making possible misunderstandings about logic by the reader to be virtually impossible.When I was a teenager, I struggled a lot with textbooks on logic because (for unknown reasons) some authors and teachers seemed to enjoy to make this topic extremely complex and obscure for beginners.Craig's book on logic will be the standard against which all the other basic textbooks on logic will be measured, in terms of clarity of exposition and simple (but not simplistic) and rigurous explanations and teachings about the basic ways in which logical reasoning works.An essential manual to high school and college students if they want to enhance, perfect and refine their rational thinking skills and dramatically increase the overall level of rationality in our culture.

Todavía no lo termino, pero lo que llevo hasta ahorita me ha encantado. Cabe aclarar que el libro está dirigido a niños y jóvenes, por ello usa un leguaje conciso y sencillo, y esto hace que sea fácil de leer. Por supuesto hay que tener un buen nivel de lectura en inglés. Gran libro para aprender lógica, aunque no seas niño o un joven.

This book is a great place to start when learning logic. It is challenging in a good way and is taught in a way that is easy to absorb. I think if parents and kids go through this book together they will both be in a better place for understanding logic.

Love it!

Poor work. Many better books on the topic are readily available.

Although supposedly aimed at children it's still too hard for an absolute beginner. Gets daunting very quickly if you mind does not work this way. Shame because I wanted to like it.
