Philosophy
The word "philosophy" literally means "love of wisdom." Humans start to
love wisdom after they have done something unwise and have paid the
price for it. From that kind of experience two complementary responses
arise: (1) How did I get into this mess? (2) How can I do things in
some way that will not get me into trouble.
Thinking things through;: An introduction to logic by Maylon H
Hepp. This book is now out of print. It is the best way for someone to
learn about logic, especially if no tutor or teacher is available.
Elementary Logic, by W. V. Quine. Quine is one of the clearest of
recent writers, and an expert in this general area. His way of writing
out logical arguments in symbolic form is, unlike Hepp's way,
consistent with the mainline logic texts.
