Has anyone looked at or used R.E. Houser's Logic as a Liberal Art: An Introduction to Rhetoric and Reasoningwhich came out this year? It covers syllogistic and propositional logic from a traditional Aristotelian, natural language point of view. I've been using this book to teach high schoolers who already have a few years of modern, truth-functional formal logic and they seem to enjoy the different perspective. And I've never taught this kind of logic before so it's been a learning experience for me, too. Has anyone else used this book or taken a look at it?
