Features: The book is divided into three parts, each containing 7 sections. At the beginning of each part, the "Problem Set" lists the main issues to be addressed in that section. However, the solutions to these problems do not strictly follow the order of the questions or the sequence of the sections. Instead, universal problems are integrated throughout the sections, while specific problems are handled by relevant sections. This book experimentally blends logical knowledge, logical thinking, critical thinking, and creative thinking into all aspects of campus life.
Part I primarily addresses the problems raised in the teaching and learning of logic courses.
Part II primarily focuses on how to use logical rational thinking to improve the rigor and persuasiveness of expression and argumentation.
Part III primarily explores how to use logic to enhance foresight, agility, and discernment in thinking.
Reading this book is essentially a logical exchange between the reader, the author, and the characters within the book. Although the book covers many aspects of the logic discipline, such as logical analysis, logical methods, deductive reasoning, pragmatic reasoning, and abductive reasoning, etc., its theoretical and academic nature does not lie in systematically, rigorously, concentratively, or coldly explaining fixed principles of logic. Instead, it primarily emphasizes, broadly, flexibly, and gently showcasing logical practice—the vivid charm of logic in solving real-world problems.
The campus in the book is vibrant, the thinking is vibrant, and the logic is vibrant. This is because there are some logic teachers and logic practitioners who cannot quite tell whether logic has merged into their lives or their lives have merged into logic. Their diligent efforts on campus have ensured that the tree of logic remains evergreen! The campus in the book is merely a microcosm of the real campus.
