Summary: "The book expresses two realities : first is the "Primary of Logic" and second is the "Necessity of Logic." It implies the primary of logic because there is always a Logical application in every scientific endeavor. Logic is the rudimentary prerequisite of every scientific thinking. Logic indeed is the "science of of all sciences." It means necessity of logic because reasoning enters into every discussion and serves as guidelines in making wise decision and solving intricate problems. The modern period maybe looked at as an era of argumentation and battle of ideas. Experience and reason proved to use that people who ate superior in the field of logic stand victorious and successful in life. In this book, the students will be guided accordingly by the discussions in reference to the three mental operations: simple apprehension, judgment, and inference of reasoning. This work is a product of authors several years of teaching logic and other philosophical disciplines. All topics are aimed to be discussed within one semester only. The comprehensive, coverage, practical discussion, relevant examples, and diagnostic exercises are meant to integrate into the lives of students the habit of reasoning with mastery, confidence, and responsibility." -- From the author's note
