An essential tool for our post-truth world: a witty primer on logic—and the dangers of illogical thinking—by a renowned Notre Dame professor Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity. Being logical is the ability to create concise and reasoned arguments—arguments that build from given premises, using evidence, to a genuine conclusion. But mastering logical thinking also requires studying and understanding illogical thinking, both to sharpen one’s own skills and to protect against incoherent, or deliberately misleading, reasoning. Elegant, pithy, and precise, Being Logical breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. D. Q. McInerney covers the sources of illogical thinking, from naïve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics—red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning—the illogical use in place of effective reasoning. An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, crisply readable book. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’s Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice. Praise for Being Logical “Highly readable . . . D. Q. McInerny offers an introduction to symbolic logic in plain English, so you can finally be clear on what is deductive reasoning and what is inductive. And you’ll see how deductive arguments are constructed.”—Detroit Free Press “McInerny’s explanatory outline of sound thinking will be eminently beneficial to expository writers, debaters, and public speakers.”—Booklist “Given the shortage of logical thinking, And the fact that mankind is adrift, if not sinking, It is vital that all of us learn to think straight. And this small book by D.Q. McInerny is great. It follows therefore since we so badly need it, Everybody should not only but it, but read it.” —Charles Osgood

Best Edition Being Logical: A Guide to Good Thinking with FREE EASY Reading!

This is easily the best basic introduction to logic (and epistemology) that I have encountered. It is clear, concise, and admirably drives home the point that logic is about reality. I would make it required reading for every high school student (and I say that despite having a few quibbles with the content).The irony mentioned in my headline appeared when after finishing the book I discovered that its author is a devout Catholic. Amazingly, the author holds religious beliefs that his own principles of logic would reject as baseless. I was initially astonished by the contradiction, but in reading some of the author's religious writings it became apparent that he is an admirer of Thomas Aquinas, who spent his entire career trying to reconcile the rational, this-worldly philosophy he learned from Aristotle with his irrational, otherworldly Christian faith.Fortunately, there is not a single mention of God or religion in "Being Logical." Mr. McInerny focuses exclusively on the subject at hand, and does so from a decidedly Aristotelian perspective. That approach is particularly welcome in our current anti-intellectual, post-truth culture, where skepticism, cynicism, and subjectivism run rampant. And I am optimistic that, against its author's personal convictions, this book will dissuade readers from holding arbitrary beliefs--including those promoted by religion.
