An introductory textbook, Logic for Justice covers, in full detail,
the language and semantics of both propositional logic and
first-order logic. It motivates the study of those logical systems
by drawing on social and political issues. Basically, Logic for
Justice frames propositional logic and first-order logic as two
theories of the distinction between good arguments and bad
arguments. And the book explains why, for the purposes of social
justice and political reform, we need theories of that distinction.
In addition, Logic for Justice is extremely lucid, thorough, and
clear. It explains, and motivates, many different features of the
formalism of propositional logic and first-order logic, always
connecting those features back to real-world issues. Key Features
Connects the study of logic to real-world social and political
issues, drawing in students who might not otherwise be attracted to
the subject. Offers extremely clear and thorough presentations of
technical material, allowing students to learn directly from the
book without having to rely on instructor explanations. Carefully
explains the value of arguing well throughout one’s life, with
several discussions about how to argue and how arguments – when
done with care – can be helpful personally. Includes examples
that appear throughout the entire book, allowing students to see
how the ideas presented in the book build on each other. Provides a
large and diverse set of problems for each chapter. Teaches logic
by connecting formal languages to natural languages with which
students are already familiar, making it much easier for students
to learn how logic works.
