Howdy everybody,
I am just a few days in here at Cedarville University and find that I need to learn logic. I am really not suppossed to start the class till next year, but I want a head start. Logic can be used everywhere, so I am in need of learning it.
As you can tell by my post I do not get ideas acrossed very well, this may be due to the way I think, or because I am an idiot. I will work on the latter for the rest of my life.
I have heard of 'Introduction to Logic' by Copi & Cohen and was wondering what any of you thought of it. If there is a better book then please let me know. I myself am more looking to learn the logic that can be used to find false statements in others arguments. Being a Calvinist, debates are normal and I am able to see the false statements, but I just can't explain them during the conversations.
Any comments would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Joshua
