Relevant for today. Well written with relevant examples and exercises. Helpful skills in assessing current worldview arguments regarding truth-value, validity, and the use of fallacious reasoning.

The parts of it which I used for my class were helpful. Lots of exercises. Fallacies are fun!

Very dense. Only read if you are down a rabbit hole of philosophy and like mathematical proofs or philosophical logic.
