About this product

Product Information

Unsurpassed for its clarity, conciseness, and comprehensiveness, Hurley's market-leading A CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC has established itself as the standard for introductory logic classes. Hailed in the first eight editions for an unwavering commitment to lucid, focused, reader-friendly presentations of logic's basic topics, the latest edition also continues to expand upon Hurley's tradition of technological excellence with the introduction of vMentor and iLrn Logic. These two technologies help you manage the workload of teaching logic by providing your students with a live, online logic tutoring service and you with an online system that automates homework and test grading. In addition, Hurley's outstanding LEARNING LOGIC-an interactive, audio-visual recasting of the entire text-remains a free supplement with each copy of the text. Rounded out with a Book Companion Website that features student quizzing and interactive tutorials on Venn diagrams and truth tables, Hurley's A CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC, Ninth Edition is not only the most logically sound choice that a professor could make for his or her logic course, but the most "technologically" sound choice as well.

Concise Introduction to Logic by Patrick J. Hurley
I bought this book for a logic class not knowing that it was a lot more than a class textbook. First of all this book, is awesome. It teaches yoiu from the ground up about logic. It will teach you how to take apart any argument you can ever find, ina newspaper, or book, or someones speech, and then apply logic to it. Dont be fooled this book is not just for those philosophy nerds or anyone else of that nature. This book will do good for anyone person out there, and is worth the read. My opinion? GO BUY IT!!!

Brief and to the point.
The examples in the book are good for the more simple problems but for the more involved problems, you're pretty much on your own. I do like that the material is presented in a current and up to date manner. The flow charts are easy to understand and the summaries are helpful. I bought this book because it was a requirement for my logic course.

A Concise Introduction to Logic by Patrick J. Hurley
I bought this book for my philosophy class. I originally was going to share the book with my roommate, but I found that difficult because we needed it for hw and to study. I also was going to write her a $60 check. So I wanted to buy my own, but not at the University bookstore because books are ridiculously expensive over there. I found this book for $40! I have my own now so i'm happy. Thank you so much!

A Concise Introduction to Logic by Patrick J. Hurley 05
I use this book for my Philosophy class at the college I attend (Los Medanos College). And we use it every time. It isn't that difficult of a book or class. I guess the teacher just makes it easier and fun. This book is not that hard or anything. Neither is it heavy. I suggest everyone should take this class. Its fun in the beginning, at least how we learned it.

The material is not so easy to grasp, but the book does a pretty good job of breaking down concepts. My instructor has said that this book is among the best when it comes to explaining things, but I don't know any different.
