Abstract

In two of my articles (‘On Teaching Logic’ and ‘Why Logic Matters’)1 I have expressed my general views about the necessity of more widespread logical training and the methodology of logic teaching. Many educated people in England are logically analphabetic, and many even rationalize their contentment with such ignorance by the pretext that one can very well conduct one’s affairs sensibly and competently without any logical knowledge.
