The Art of Reasoning by David Kelley teaches students logic by doing—working through problems, analyzing real arguments, and constructing their own in both plain language and symbolic notation. Kelley’s clear and accessible approach introduces the principles of critical thinking and logical analysis while giving readers ample opportunity to practice and master essential skills. A perfect blend of theory and application, this text ensures students don’t just learn logic—they live it.
