Patrick Shaw, lecturer in Logic at the University of Glasgow, has written a commonsense introduction to the use of logic in everyday thought and argument.
Logic and its Limits examines the nature of good and, bad arguments, drawing illustrations from a variety of sources such as the press, radio and television. Symbols and technicalities are kept to a minimum in this thorough and provocative investigation of the rational approach to thought-and the limitations of such an aproach - aimed at helping the reader to avoid bad arguments, to detect them in others and so to think and argue more effectively.
A wide range of thought-provoking examples concerned with contemporary social and political issues make this a readable and stimulating guide for the enquiring general reader as well as for the student in the 6th form, at college and university.
