Logic can be your secret weapon.

Studying formal logic can be intimidating without the right help, but knowing how to think logically isn't just for "experts."

Our easy-to-read layout comes with summaries, key points, definitions, and cautions so you learn and keep an understanding of logic.

It's the tool for learning how to use other tools.

It's the bones that give a clenched fist its structure (and knuckles).

Introductory Logic is perfect for Grade 7+ students, teachers, and parents who've never tackled syllogisms or fallacies before. It provides a semester or year's worth of logic to help you detect and deflect flawed or deceitful arguments and to think, debate, and argue well.

The complete Introductory Logic video course is available for streaming with a subscription to Canon+. Visit mycanonplus.com to learn more.

Introductory Logic

Great Curriculum

I have used this curriculum with my own children and am currently teaching it at a co-op with a mix of middle schoolers and high schoolers. It is simple to use and is engaging and fun, even for a teacher that has no previous experience studying logic.

Great addition to our middle grade studies!

It’s easy to use and teach. Coupled with the videos on canon+, it has been our favorite addition to our curriculum this year!

Introductory Logic

Amazing customer service!

Introductory Logic

High quality

"Dishoner on you, dishoner on your cow!"

In lesson 4 the definition of doe is incorrect. In the teacher's guide, it says that a doe is a female deer, this definition also complies with wabbits, goats, and antelopes. This fault is not very helpful to our students for logic lessons. we would appreciate it if you could fix this problem in future editions. On this note, "dishonor on you dishonor on your cow" so it would be very much appreciated if you could fix this problem. Sincerely, Mushu the Great.

We think Logic is Great

We ordered the Introductory Logic curriculum as an addition to the logic course my daughter is taking in her homeschool classes. She started with the video series on the Canon App and really wanted to purchase the curriculum to work through as well. Her other Logic series, which mainly focuses on fallacies, is great, however the Introductory Logic is a good place to start, because exactly as the title describes, it is an introduction to it all and is especially helpful if a person is new to the subject of Logic. Thank you for making this series available; many blessings to the Canon Press crew as you faithfully continue to put out content for hungry minds.

Intoductory Logic

My daughter took a short logic class to get her feet wet with this subject. We bought this book in order to give her a fuller experience. We will use this text along with the videos available on Canon+ to have her “take” the class. It would be better in a community setting, but our circumstances don’t allow for that because of where we live (outside US). We love the way the book uses images (diagrams) as well as different thinking exercises to help the students train their brains - so to speak - on how to think logically. This is so incredibly important because we can’t predict all the false arguments that our kids will face in their lifetime. In a very practical way, this book “teaches our kids to fish” so that we don’t have to worry about trying to prepare them for everything they may encounter in their adulthood. That is impossible anyway, and even this book is limited. The Holy Spirit will be the true guide, but this book is a great help.
