"Is logic a good tool for making decisions? Can it make us better listeners and help us find coherence in views that we disagree with? Are Sherlock Holmes and Spock actually good at logic? Patrick Girard addresses these and other questions by presenting logic as the guardian of coherence. Logic, Godard argues, finds coherence in the patterns of reasoning across science, religion, and everyday decision making. It helps communities engage safely by replacing contentious debates with shared, constructive reasoning--logic provides neutral ground for the healthy pursuit of common goals and interests. Logic in the Wild employs common sense language, eschewing technical jargon, symbols, and equations. Girard's attention focuses on logic's power to find what unites the complex and the simple, the abstract and the concrete, the theoretical and the practical. In treating logic not as a passive subject to learn but as an active discipline to engage with, Logic in the Wild teaches us to identify patterns in our own reasoning, which inevitably helps us better confront questions central to everyday life."--
