Features: The guiding principle of this book is to focus on the content of modern logic while also retaining traditional logic knowledge to construct the teaching system. This represents a new attempt in the transition of logic teaching from traditional to modern logic. This new teaching system is proposed in response to the call for "modernizing logic education," aiming to improve the level of logic teaching and align it with international advanced standards. To respond to the era's call for "education oriented to modernization, the world, and the future," to meet the internal requirements of the continuous deepening and development of higher education reform, and to align with the changing knowledge structures of contemporary college students—especially the higher demands of the 21st century for talent quality and abilities—the authors compiled this book. This book is one of the key systematic textbooks launched by Central University of Finance and Economics to promote educational and teaching reform, written by teachers from the Logic Teaching and Research Office over a period of three years. The guiding principle of the entire book is to focus on the content of modern logic while also retaining traditional logic knowledge to construct the teaching system. The book consists of ten chapters, systematically introducing knowledge related to propositional logic, traditional term logic, modern predicate logic, modal logic, inductive reasoning and inductive methods, analogical reasoning and retracing reasoning, the basic laws of logical thinking, hypotheses and arguments, and fallacies.
