Can it make us better listeners and help us find coherence in views that we disagree with? Are Sherlock Holmes and Spock actually good at logic? Patrick Girard addresses these and other questions by presenting logic as the guardian of coherence. Logic, Godard argues, finds coherence in the patterns of reasoning across science, religion, and everyday decision making. It helps communities engage safely by replacing contentious debates with shared, constructive reasoning--logic provides neutral ground for the healthy pursuit of common goals and interests. Logic in the Wild employs common sense language, eschewing technical jargon, symbols, and equations. Girard's attention focuses on logic's power to find what unites the complex and the simple, the abstract and the concrete, the theoretical and the practical. In treating logic not as a passive subject to learn but as an active discipline to engage with, Logic in the Wild teaches us to identify patterns in our own reasoning, which inevitably helps us better confront questions central to everyday life."-- |cProvided by publisher. 530 Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 Logic. 650 0 Belief and doubt. 650 6 Croyance et doute. |0(CaQQLa)201-0016537 650 7 Belief and doubt |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00830124 650 7 Logic |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01002014 776 08 |iOnline version:Girard, Patrick (Lecturer) |tLogic in the wild. |dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2024 |z0228021774 |z9780228021773 |w(OCoLC)1412504947 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-08 |gYBP |h111346 914 (OCoLC)on1409610075 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240724 |eprocessed |f1409610075 980 20558061 |f111346 |i27.95 |j22.92 |n40032335905 982 |cf |q32101114608258
