Introduction to Logic Hardcover -

From the publisher

For more than six decades, and for thousands of students, Introduction to Logic has been the gold standard in introductory logic texts. In this fifteenth edition, Carl Cohen and Victor Rodych update Irving M. Copi's classic text, improving on its many strengths and introducing new and helpful material that will greatly assist both students and instructors.

• Chapter 8 now has:
• Simpler definitions of "simple statement" and "compound statement"
• More and more detailed examples of the Complete Truth-Table Method.

• Chapter 9 now has:
