Along with a basic understanding of the theory of knowledge, the text presents the four kinds of logical statements, the four ways propositions can be opposed, the three ways in which they can be equivalent, and the seven rules for the validity of syllogisms. Each chapter, in approximately five pages of text, explains challenging concepts in clear, concise language.
