The text organizes learning into three mental acts: understanding, judgment, and reasoning. It guides readers through concepts and terms, formal and material fallacies, definition, truth and categorical propositions, transformations and contradiction, syllogisms of varying complexity, validity checking, induction, and practical applications for writing, dialogue, and debate.","Other books by Peter Kreeft from St.Augustine's Press  \nThe Philosophy of JesusJesus-Shock  \nThe Sea
