In lively and readable prose, Arthur presents a new approach to the
study of logic, one that seeks to integrate methods of argument
analysis developed in modern “informal logic” with natural
deduction techniques. The dry bones of logic are given flesh by
unusual attention to the history of the subject, from Pythagoras, the
Stoics, and Indian Buddhist logic, through Lewis Carroll, Venn, and
Boole, to Russell, Frege, and Monty Python. A previous edition of this
book appeared under the title Natural Deduction. This new edition adds
clarifications of the notions of explanation, validity and formal
validity, a more detailed discussion of derivation strategies, and
another rule of inference, Reiteration.
