Symbolic Logic

"Symbolic Logic" by Lewis Carroll is a book about logic and ways of thinking, made probably in the late 1800s. The book is like a beginner's guide to symbolic logic, helping people learn how to understand logical statements and arguments using organized methods. Carroll’s goal is to make logic easy and interesting, while aiming to attract young people. The start of "Symbolic Logic" explains logical ideas with examples, like building logical arguments where you come to a conclusion based on two statements. Carroll introduces words like "things" and "attributes" to help explain groups and how to classify them in logic. As he talks about how to connect statements and come to logical conclusions, he sets the scene for more difficult ideas later on, showing how the book teaches formal logic and also encourages readers to think and explore ideas.
