This text emphasizes the practical and real-world application of soundly structured deductive logic. Using methods such as Socratic dialogue, ample discussion, and integration of other subjects, the text approaches formal logic in the ideal way for dialectic students. Starting with a short history of Aristotelian logic, students move from there to learning how to translate arguments from ordinary, conversational, or written narratives into categorical form. Students then build on those skills as they study how to construct syllogisms and test them for validity. As a part of this process, they study the square of opposition and relationships of equivalence, learning how to make valid propositional inferences and analyze syllogisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a consumable item.

The study of informal logic and the informal fallacies (everyday arguments gone wrong) will aid students in recognizing bad reasoning and identifying fallacies.

This text emphasizes the practical and real-world application of soundly structured deductive logic. Using methods such as Socratic dialogue, ample discussion, and integration of other subjects, the text approaches formal logic in the ideal way for dialectic students. Starting with a short history of Aristotelian logic, students move from there to learning how to translate arguments from ordinary, conversational, or written narratives into categorical form. Students then build on those skills as they study how to construct syllogisms and test them for validity. As a part of this process, they study the square of opposition and relationships of equivalence, learning how to make valid propositional inferences and analyze syllogisms.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.com\/collections\/discovery-of-deduction\/products\/the-discovery-of-deduction-teachers-edition\" title=\"The Discovery of Deduction Teacher's Edition\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDiscovery of Deduction\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTeacher’s Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis edition \u003cspan\u003efeatures the entire student text, along with an answer key, teaching tips, sample essays, dialogues, and arguments.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.com\/collections\/discovery-of-deduction\/products\/the-discovery-of-deduction-video\" title=\"The Discovery of Deduction Streaming Video\"\u003eThe Discovery of Deduction\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStreaming Video\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"The Art of Argument DVD Set\" href=\"https:\/\/classicalacademicpress.myshopify.com\/the-art-of-argument-dvd-set\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn these chapter-by-chapter lessons, instructor Joelle Hodge, coauthor of the text and Scholé Academy director, explains the concepts of formal logic, providing a variety of examples and applications along with plenty of visual aids to help students master the content.
