Traditional Logic II covers the figures of the traditional syllogism, forms of rhetorical arguments, kinds of hypothetical syllogisms, as well as relational arguments. The book also includes a wealth of famous arguments throughout history. Some examples include:

  • Rene Descartes’ famous enthymeme (“I think, therefore, I am”)
  • C. S. Lewis’ disjunctive syllogism proving the deity of Christ
  • Christ’s injunction (“You cannot serve both God and mammon”)
  • David Hume’s famous dilemma stating the problem of evil
  • St. Thomas Aquinas’ cosmological argument for the existence of God

By the end of Traditional Logic II, the student will be able to analyze a variety of argument forms, including enthymemes, sorites, and epicheirema, as well as recognize and respond to dilemmas.
