Reviewers from Amazon
5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction to Logic . . . Though Ironic
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2020
“This is easily the best basic introduction to logic (and epistemology) that I have encountered. It is clear, concise, and admirably drives home the point that logic is about reality. I would make it required reading for every high school student (and I say that despite having a few quibbles with the content).”
4.0 out of 5 stars Good, But There are Better
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2008
“Buy A Rulebook for Arguments by Anthony Weston instead of this book. Both Being Logical: A Guide to Good Thinking by D.Q. Mcinerny (this book), and A Rulebook for Arguments, by Anthony Weston site the same exact book as their inspiration. Both books are of similar structure, focused on the topic of logic. They both reference The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. (and E. B. White) as their source of inspiration.”
