The average rating for Tidman and Kahane's Logic and Philosophy a Modern Introduction based on 2 reviews is 4 stars.
Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-08 00:00:00 Christopher Gibson This was the best intro textbook that I encountered during the time that I taught introductory symbolic logic. If I were to teach logic again, I would definitely look at the latest edition of this text. The advantage over other intro symbolic logic texts is that it requires students to understand what they are doing in order to do proofs. (The previous textbook I used, not one that I chose but one that I was required to teach from, only taught students to crank through proofs and did not emphasize the ideas at all.) |
Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-22 00:00:00 Kevin Paquette This was the textbook for the one and only course I was assigned to teach while a T.A. at Loyola University Chicago. Comments about that are included in the review of the Instructor's Manual for Logic and Philosophy. About this particular introductory text I have no particular feelings. Naturally, I preferred the Tapscott text used when, a couple of years prior, I was introducted to symbolic logic. |
