This book is a continuation of Traditional Logic, Book I: An introduction to Formal Logic, and presupposes a knowledge of the material in that book. The two books together constitute a complete course in formal logic at the junior high and senior high level.

Book I covers the three acts of the mind involved in logic: simple apprehension, judgment and deductive inference. In this book, we continue the study of deductive inference with the treatment of figure and mood in simple syllogisms, complex syllogisms and hypothetical reasoning. We also have one chapter on the oblique syllogism, which is a variant of the traditional categorical syllogism. Like the first book, daily exercise sets are given at the end of each chapter to ensure comprehension and mastery of the material at every level.

For those home school parents and teachers who have felt ill-equipped to teach logic, there is no more excuse. Traditional Logic, Book I is now available on video!

Aristotle's Rhetoric is known as one of the finest works on the classical concept of rhetoric--a subject's own style or forms of expression. This course is an accompanied 'tour' during this book, conveying in simpler terms what Artistotle's arguments are. Focusing on the content rather than the technique of rhetoric, this course will follow Aristotle's concern with the 'what' of communication. Following the chapters of Rhetoric, open-ended questions focus on questions that may be answered from the book and critical thinking questions. Quotes, selected readings, weekly writing assignments (research and evaluative) and Latin translations are all included, helping students to gain a thorough and unique understanding of this classical tradition. 175 non-reproducible pages, softcover. Answer key sold separately (stock # 636452).
