I love this textbook. I have been using various editions for the last 12 years and will continue to do so., I am happy to use Hurley to teach Logic today. It is consistently clear and concise while providing plenty of practice material., Hurley is the classic logic textbook. In my fifteen years as a logic professor, I have tried out other textbooks, but I keep coming back to Hurley to give the most straightforward explanations and to provide the best exercises to stretch the students' capacities and to sharpen the students' skills.
