Material Logic with Aristotle Set by Memoria Press (Student Text, Teacher Key, Quizzes & Test)
Set includes the Material Logic Student Text, the Teacher Key, and the Quizzes and Test booklet, all by Memoria Press. All three are like new and are the current Third Edition.
Memoria Press Description: When most people think of logic, they think of formal logic—the study of the structure or form of reasoning. But what most educators don’t realize is that formal logic is only one part of a complete logic program. The other branch of logic study was called “material logic,” and focused not on the form of reasoning, but on its content. In short, while formal logic studied the “how” of reasoning, material logic studied the “what.”
The principles of material logic, an important part of trivium language study, are now almost forgotten—a casualty of the almost exclusive modern secular emphasis on math and sciences. Formal logic was once termed minor (or lesser) logic, while material logic usually went by the name of major (or greater) logic—a measure of how important classical thinkers considered them.
With the publication of Material Logic: A Course in How to Think, these ancient techniques are a lost art no more. Whether you want a follow-on course to Memoria Press’ popular Traditional Logic program, or simply an introductory thinking skills course for high school grades, this new addition to Memoria Press’ widely acclaimed Classical Trivium Core Series is a valuable tool in teaching your student to think.
Material Logic, like all of Memoria Press’ programs, is designed to ease the job of the teacher or parent—with straightforward explanations, an easy-to-read text layout, and digestible daily exercise sets.
Student Text: The Student Text contains an introduction to the course, 15 chapters of content, and appendices with helpful tips for studying logic.
Teacher Key: The Material Logic Teacher Key contains the answers to the exercises in the Material Logic Student Workbook (NOT included) and the Quizzes & Test. The Student Workbook is NOT included in this set.
Quizzes & Test: This book contains 14 chapter quizzes and a final exam for Material Logic by Martin Cothran. An answer key and downloadable version of the quizzes and test are also included.$19.95$33.25 -
Classical Rhetoric with Aristotle Set (Dover Edition Book and Memoria Press Answer Key)
Set includes the Dover Edition of Aristotle’s “Rhetoric” and the Memoria Press Answer Key. “Rhetoric” book is in good condition and the Memoria Press Answer Key is like new and is the First Edition.
Memoria Press Description: Aristotle’s Rhetoric concerns itself with the art of persuasion. This is a required text for Memoria Press’ Classical Rhetoric with Aristotle. From the publisher: “One of the seminal works of Western philosophy, Aristotle’s Rhetoric vastly influenced all subsequent thought on the subject—philosophical, political, and literary. Focusing on the use of language as both a vehicle and a tool to shape a persuasive argument, Aristotle delineates with remarkable insight both practical and aesthetic elements and their proper combination in an effective presentation, oral or written. He emphasizes the role of language in achieving precision and clarity of thought.
The ancients regarded rhetoric as the crowning intellectual discipline—the synthesis of logical principles and other knowledge attained from years of schooling. Modern readers will find considerable relevance in Aristotelian rhetoric and its focus on developing argumentation. Aristotle’s examinations of how to compose and interpret speeches offer significant insights into the language and style of contemporary communications, from advertisements to news reports and other media.”
The Classical Rhetoric Answer Key (included) contains the answers to the quizzes and tests found in the Classical Rhetoric Quizzes & Tests (NOT included in this set) and the exercises and comprehension questions found in the Classical Rhetoric Student Guide (NOT included in this set).$6.00$16.50 -
