The Game Of Logic

Lewis Carroll

The Game of Logic is a book written by Lewis Carroll, published in 1886. In addition to his well-known children's literature, Carroll was an academic mathematician who worked in mathematical logic. The book describes, in an informal and playful style, the use of a board game to represent logical propositions and inferences. Carroll incorporated the game into a longer and more formal introductory logic textbook titled Symbolic Logic, published in 1897. The books are sometimes reprinted in a single volume.
