In particular, chapters 1, 8, and 9 have been greatly enhanced without disturbing the book’s clear and gradual pedagogical approach.
Specifically:
- Chapter 1 now uses a simpler and better definition of "deductive validity," which enhances the rest of the book (especially chapters 1 and 8-10, and their new components)
- Chapter 8 now has:
- Simpler definitions of "simple statement" and "compound statement"
- More and more detailed examples of the Complete Truth-Table Method
- Chapter 9 now has:
- A detailed, step-by-step account of the Shorter Truth-Table Method (with detailed step-by-step examples for conclusions of different types)
- A more complete and detailed account of Indirect Proof
- A detailed justification for Indirect Proof treating each of the three distinct ways in which an argument can be valid
- A new section on Conditional Proof, which complements the 19 Rules of Inference and Indirect Proof
- Explications of proofs of tautologies using both Indirect Proof and Conditional Proof
- A new section at the end of the chapter explaining the important difference between sound and demonstrative arguments
- The Appendices now include:
- A new appendix on making the Shorter Truth-Table Technique (STTT) more efficient by selecting the most efficient sequence of STTT steps
- A new appendix on Step 1 calculations for multiple-line shorter truth tables
- A new appendix on unforced truth-value assignments, invalid arguments, and Maxims III-V
