   Demanding yet engaging and approachable, the book “Formal Logic Introduction with Philosophical Components” comprises of two key sections. The initial portion (Chapters 1-5) furnishes a focused, fundamental overview of formal deductive logic encompassing syntax, semantics, translation, and sheer deduction for propositional and predicate logics. The latter part (Chapters 6-7) delivers independent, user-friendly essays on logic and its relevance in philosophy and history, along with writing stimuli and suggestions for further readings.

   For educators desiring a distinctly lucid initiation into formal logic without the supplementary philosophical aspects, the book “Formal Logic Introduction,” a condensed, alternative edition of “Formal Logic Introduction with Philosophical Components,” is also available.
