Lewis Carroll, renowned author of Alice’s Adventures, offers us here a recreational, enjoyable and challenging work, the Logic Riddles, in which he transgresses not exactly the rules of logic inference, but the conventional mode of arrangement of propositions or premises of arguments. This deliberate breakdown is done by the disordered arrangement of propositions and by its creative and unusual content.
The book also includes the logic paradox “What the Tortoise said to Achilles”.
A challenging work for all levels, from intelligent and curious children to students of Logic and Philosophy.
The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.
His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense.
Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.
