The Game of Logic
The Game of Logic, published in 1886 by Lewis Carroll, the Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson, teaches the rules of the syllogism through a game played with a diagram and colored counters. Dedicated to a child-friend and written in Carroll's playful style, it shows how propositions about cakes, dragons, pigs and other improbable subjects can be marked on the board and combined to draw valid conclusions. Chapters explain the propositions, the method of the diagrams, the fallacies to avoid and many exercises with answers. It is a small, charming introduction to formal reasoning from the author of the Alice books. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
