This book is intended to help students learn the answers to these ques- tions by spelling out the underlying principles involved in the construction of proofs.
14.1 Overview. If an object is either black or white, and if it is not black, then logic leads us to the conclusion that it must be white.
Informal logic uses ordinary language to create and assess arguments. Formal logic, however, often uses languages—sets of symbols and rules—that look more like ...
