Introducing Logic: A Graphic Guide (Graphic Guides)

A great book for students of pure mathematics. The history of logic from ancient to modern is depicted in detailed.

This book is wonderful and dense introduction of logic, it's history, different schools of logic such as philosophical logic, mathematical logic, symbolic logic and how each of them are related. It also covers paradoxes, the structure of logic and language, consciousness, formal logic etc Although it does not cover logical flaws as understood in informal conversations . It also misses out George Boole - the man who introduced Boolean algebra. Nevertheless I recommend it to anyone who want to understand what "logic" is

The graphics were realy amazing. A really informative read. Reccomended if you want a basics intro to the topic. Definitive read.

Good introduction

Helps the reader to get an overview of the development of logic and how it relates to AI and Cognitive reasoning

Good evening afternoon ji the whose who and catalogue ideas but sometimes can get dense. Finish the book while taking notes and then the real journey starts.

Not as good as I thought. But a good stating point.

The graphics are good. the book is precise and a good study on logic. recommended buy.

Indicado para aqueles que ao visualizar, entendem melhor os silogismos, sentenças, etc. Usa ainda exemplos conhecidos mais os coloca usando ilustrações, o que é bem melhor e até mais descontraído para entender. Pena que seja apenas um livro introdutório, se fosse mais abrangente seria melhor.

I have enjoyed many of the "Introducing " books, but this one stands out as being especially good in its presentation and depth of information that is delivered to a complete newly to the subject. I would rather re read this book a few times than move onto more in-depth books on the subject. Quick, concise, in a very lucid way of introducing the subject which has so many applications in daily life.

I loved this book. It’s the perfect little introduction to a variety of different topics as wide as: * Classical Logic * Alternative Logics (Fuzzy, etc) * Philosophy of Science * Logic and the Scientific Methods * Logic and Computers/AI * Logic and Linguistics And a whole swath of other topics. Highly recommended for the breadth of information inside. Only downside is that the format of the book series, although highly entertaining, is sometimes hard to follow, because a lot of the key information seems to be in short speech bubbles by various important and historical figures. Don’t let that distract you from enjoying this little gem though.

I like these graphic guides. Perhaps the descriptive passages on the black pages could be larger, sharper, and clearer, but aside from that well worth purchasing and reading carefully. I always make tons of notes and use hi lighters to draw attention to key points! Many Thanks Graphic Guides folks! 👍

This was my first foray in reading an introductory course presented in the comic book medium and I cant say I was disappointed. I have previously read other subjects condensed into accessible and concise formats, but this one really grabbed my attention. Let me begin by saying that whatever you think you may know about Logic may be entirely different from whats in this book. I have been fascinated by Philosophy ever since my High School days. Areas such as ontology, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics fascinated my eager young mind to no end. Understanding myself, others, and this odd little situation we find ourselves called life was a big deal to me. Back in my college days I remember seeing Logic courses being offered but for some reason or another I never took part. My idea of Logic was probably similar to most peoples - things that made sense or a particular mode of thinking. After reading Introducing Logic: A Graphic Guide I found my whole conception of this area of Philosophy got flipped turned upside down. The book begins by providing a simple definition of what Logic which is "the study of truth preserving arguments." What intrigued me most upon starting this book was just how much mathematics played a role in Logic. As you learn in the book Logic is all about setting up an argument and analyzing the components that make up that argument. These arguments are arranged into formulas to test a variety of ideas. One thing that I think will catch the attention of a lot of people is just how wide Logic's influence on society is. I for one never knew that Logic was crucial in the development of electronics, computers, AI, and even cognitive science. New comers are likely to be stunned by how indebted we are to Logic for the development of technologies and ideas that are so common place we don't think twice about them. Before starting this book I was unsure of how I would respond to it. Im no stranger to the graphic novel medium, but the idea of learning something as intricate as Logic from what many just dismiss as comic books left me skeptical. Having finished the book I can say that neophytes to the study of Logic should have no worries about picking this one up. The information is presented in a very easy to digest manner and does not leave you feeling bombarded by complex recondite ideas. On the sleeve of the book I noticed that its part of a series of graphic novels that tackle a wide variety of subjects so I think I'll be returning for new books. Definitely pick this one up and live long and prosper!
