Publisher's Description of Discovery of Deduction

The Discovery of Deduction: An Introduction to Formal Logic will welcome your students into the fascinating realm of formal, deductive logic. This text teaches students how an argument is put together—the form or structure of an argument. It pulls back the curtain to show students not only how arguments work, but also how to assess what's going on in their own minds. The Discovery of Deduction is recommended for students who have studied informal fallacies, such as those taught in The Art of Argument: An Introduction to the Informal Fallacies; however, the text does also stand on its own as an independent study of formal logic.

The Discovery of Deduction (Student Edition)

makes a subject usually reserved for study in college accessible and relevant to logic-stage students, who are at an age when they are beginning to engage with important ideas. This text emphasizes the practical and real-world application of soundly structured deductive logic. Using methods such as Socratic dialogue, ample discussion, and integration of other subjects, the text approaches formal logic in the ideal way for dialectic students. Starting with a short history of Aristotelian logic, students move from there to learning how to translate arguments from ordinary, conversational, or written narratives into categorical form. Students then build on those skills as they study how to construct syllogisms and test them for validity. As a part of this process, they study the square of opposition and relationships of equivalence, learning how to make valid propositional inferences and analyze syllogisms.

This is a consumable item.

Category Description for Discovery of Deduction

The Discovery of Deduction program from Classical Academic Press is an introduction to the fascinating world of formal logic. Students can begin with formal logic or start this program after they complete the Art of Argument (which covers informal logical fallacies). In Discovery of Deduction, students focus on deductive reasoning and the structure of argument through Socratic dialogue and definitional distinctions. Students will study the history of logic, propositions and their relationships, categorical syllogisms, and terms and definitions. The text is written directly to the student and includes real-world application and examples. Appendices in both the teacher and the student books include Venn diagrams of syllogisms, essays, a glossary, endnotes, and a bibliography.

Your student will work from the Student Edition. Each lesson has 4-5 pages of reading followed by questions, exercises, and discussion questions. The Teacher Edition is identical to the student pages and includes all the answers for the student text. The page numbers are the same as the student for easy reference. If you need assessments, quizzes, or extra practice, they are only available as a downloadable PDF Digital File. This resource also contains a suggested course schedule. The Discovery of Deduction Video (Streaming Access) has over twenty hours of video instruction by the co-author, Joelle Hodge.

Classical Academic Press has an Errata Sheet for both the Student and Teacher Book of this edition. You may want to print this out for easy reference as you go through the course.  ~Tara
