The Game of Logic

6C Lewis Carroll. London: Macmillan and Co., 1887. First Edition

Note

The Game of Logic is a book written by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) and first published in 1887. Unlike his famous Alice stories, this work is a serious exploration of logic and reasoning, presented in a playful, accessible style. Carroll introduces a mechanical, diagram-based method to solve logical problems, using a game-like system of colored counters and diagrams to illustrate propositions, syllogisms, and logical relationships. The book is designed to teach readers how to think systematically and analyze arguments, blending Carroll’s mathematical expertise with his talent for clear, imaginative exposition. Though aimed at young readers as well as adults, it reflects Carroll’s enduring fascination with puzzles, paradoxes, and structured reasoning, showing that learning logic can be both rigorous and enjoyable.
