This is by far the worst book I have read. The title completely opposes its contents. The book attempts to explain the psychology behind logic but fails to understand the psychology of its readers. The sentences at times greatly lack "logical" connections and use unnecessarily complicated words. The sentences are run ons amongst run ons amongst run ons amongst....... I think you get the jest. All in all I would recommend each and every one to never attempt to read this. If I could I would give it -ve stars.

I really enjoyed this book. I've been looking for a book that is a good discussion of logic. The first half of this book is an in depth discussion of the theories of logic. The second half of the book is a history of how logic has influenced the field of philosophy through the ages.
