This extraordinary book is both humbling and enlightening. The book is very informational and more so than i thought it would be.

Peter kreeft is a philosophy professor, writer and renowned apologist. He presents all the classic features of logic, and the salient departures from the classic approach to logic. He guides his readers along gently and guides them through the process...  Read More



Cons

The use of the traditional inclusive generic pronoun he is a decision of language, not of gender injustice. Another alternative is the politically intrusive in-your-face generic she. If you want a secular textbook, this ain't it.

The fallacy of suppressed evidence is a fallacy of presumption. Because the antecedent of a conditional statement is not asserted to be true, it presents no evidence. It's one thing to argue in favor of essentialism; it's quite another to claim that e...  Read More

    Kreeft misunderstands socalled modern logic confusing it with metaphysics


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After awhile the comments get annoying and they tend to get worse in quality as the book goes on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As in they dont actually test what the topic is


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Most of them are fine but somewhere around 5 of them seem more oriented towards kreeft making criticisms of peoplepositions he disagrees with instead of actually being on the topic


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While the best introductory text kreeft is not the only modern text which discusses aristotelian logic of course this in part depends on just how recent a text has to be


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No noncatholic thinkers in aristotelian logic are referenced which misses out on a huge amount of the aristotelian tradition


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At the core of any work especially something so foundational a topic as logic lies a particular web of beliefs and principles that the authors bring to the table


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Starts with the basics and gets more involved into math which im no good at
