“我相信邏輯，比如說，有一個峽榖，所有的人都說過不去，那裏是萬丈深淵，但如果邏輯推論齣那裏應該有一座橋，我就會走過去。”——張維迎 經濟學傢、北京大學光華管理學院前任院長

“當我考入阿姆斯特丹大學時，物理係和哲學係正好在一座樓裏，所以我不經意地選修瞭一門邏輯。對我來說，這門神奇的邏輯課讓我大開眼界：正是邏輯揭示瞭我們所做的日常事情——談話、推理和論辯背後的精妙。所以我愛上瞭邏輯學，並為此轉到瞭哲學係。”——約翰·範·本瑟姆 世界邏輯學傢、荷蘭阿姆斯特丹大學邏輯學教授

An essential tool for our post-truth world: a witty primer on logic—and the dangers of illogical thinking—by a renowned Notre Dame professor
Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity.Being logical is the ability to create concise and reasoned arguments—arguments that build from given premises, using evidence, to a genuine conclusion. But mastering logical thinking also requires studying and understanding illogical thinking, both to sharpen one’s own skills and to protect against incoherent, or deliberately misleading, reasoning.
Elegant, pithy, and precise,Being Logical breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. D. Q. McInerney covers the sources of illogical thinking, from naïve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics—red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning—the illogical use in place of effective reasoning.
An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, crisply readable book. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’sBeing Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’sThe Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice. 

Review
“Highly readable... D. Q. McInerny offers an introduction to symbolic logic in plain English, so you can finally be clear on what is deductive reasoning and what is inductive. And you’ll see how deductive arguments are constructed.”  — Detroit Free Press
 
“McInerny’s explanatory outline of sound thinking will be eminently beneficial to expository writers, debaters, and public speakers.”  — Booklist
 
“Given the shortage of logical thinking, and the fact that mankind is adrift, if not sinking, It is vital that all of us learn to think straight. And this small book by D.Q. McInerny is great. It follows therefore since we so badly need it, everybody should not only but it, but read it.”  — Charles Osgood

我們知道有些人平時錶現得非常聰明伶俐，但是邏輯性卻不是很突齣。他們有邏輯思考的能力，但是這種能力顯然還沒有成為本能。造成這種情況的原因，可能是因為他們進行邏輯思考的能力從來沒有被地培訓過，這是他們所受教育中的缺陷。實際上，邏輯學是教育的真正支柱，但是在學校裏它卻很少被提及。生活中，邏輯無處不在。無論我們是有意還是無意，邏輯無時不在服務於我們的生活。然而邏輯到底是什麼，也許並沒有太多的人有很清楚的概念。對門外漢或是初學者來說，本書都有切實的幫助。這本書的目的是嚮讀者介紹邏輯學的初步知識和基本技巧。

這是本小書。之所以說它小，一是因為本書確實不厚，與市麵上長篇宏論的大部頭相比，它確實很小；第二是因為閱讀本書並不需要太多的知識，可讀性很強。其內容並不艱難晦澀，作者盡可能采用直白的語言來解釋邏輯中的基本原理、觀點、産生謬誤的原因、謬誤的形式等等基礎的邏輯問題。

邏輯，作為一個整體，是個寬廣、深奧、精彩紛呈的領域，這本書既沒有刻闆的理論論述也不是正規的教科書，這是一本現實應用的指南，對那些初次接觸邏輯的人介紹邏輯的基本原理。《簡單的邏輯學》期待造就實踐者，而不是理論傢。

本書將邏輯分為五部分，就是書中的五個章節，每一章節以前一章節的知識為基礎。章是準備，為成為一個邏輯思考者而要搭建的必要思想框架。第二三章是邏輯的核心，如何建立正確的邏輯思考。第二章闡述瞭引導邏輯思考的基礎事實，第三章重點是“論證—邏輯思考”的外在錶現形式。第四章，探討導緻非邏輯思考的態度及思維模式。後一章，第五章圍繞“謬誤—非邏輯思考”的細節展開。

Whether regarded as a science, an art, or a skill–and it can properly be regarded as all three–logic is the basis of our ability to think, analyze, argue, and communicate. Indeed, logic goes to the very core of what we mean by human intelligence. In this concise, crisply readable book, distinguished professor D. Q. McInerny offers an indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’sBeing Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice.
As McInerny notes, logic is a deep, wide, and wonderfully varied field, with a bearing on every aspect of our intellectual life. A mastery of logic begins with an understanding of right reasoning–and encompasses a grasp of the close kinship between logical thought and logical expression, a knowledge of the basic terms of argument, and a familiarity with the pitfalls of illogical thinking. Accordingly, McInerny structures his book in a series of brief, penetrating chapters that build on one another to form a unified and coherent introduction to clear and effective reasoning.
At the heart of the book is a brilliant consideration of argument–how an argument is founded and elaborated, how it differs from other forms of intellectual discourse, and how it critically embodies the elements of logic. McInerny teases out the subtleties and complexities of premises and conclusions, differentiates statements of fact from statements of value, and discusses the principles and uses of every major type of argument, from the syllogistic to the conditional. In addition, he provides an incisive look at illogical thinking and explains how to recognize and avoid the most common errors of logic.

D.Q.麥剋倫尼，美國知名邏輯學傢、哲學教授，從事教學多年，曾先後任教於聖母大學和肯塔基大學。現居住於內布拉斯加州林肯市。
D. Q. McInerny has taught logic to college students for decades at Notre Dame, the University of Kentucky, and Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Lincoln, Nebraska. A scholar of Thomas Merton and the recipient of two PhDs, Professor McInerny lives in Lincoln, Nebraska.
