Studying Philosophy (2nd Edition) Review

Studying Philosophy (2nd Edition)

This new "guide for the perplexed" not only offers a good introduction to succeeding at your study of philosophy, but to succeeding at college. I like that Arthur puts his message in this larger context, and that his advice is applicable, in most places, across the curriculum. (I myself use the book for my philosophy courses!) I agree with Arthur's view that what happens outside the classroom is often much more important in terms of college/educational success than what goes on in the class. The book is well written, not technical, and Arthur's style is interspersed with personal anecdotal comments that add to the delight of reading this book!

Logic: The Art of Defining and Reasoning (2nd Edition) Review

This is a "classic" introduction to classical logic. This book is important for today in understanding not only the foundations of logic itself but also in contrasting the traditional Aristoltelian logic with the modern symbolic versions. Oesterle defends the classical viewpoints such as the Square of Opposition from modern critics by showing that modern logic is too abstract and lacks intentionality towards real things, with the result for symbolic logic being what Henry B. Veatch called a "logic that can't say what anything is".
Classical logic as presented here is overdue for a comeback in thinking circles.
