Starting with the analysis of cognitive situations which appear in everyday life, and by means of the logical analysis of some games, the author deals with applied logic in the sense of the general methodology of reasoning. The book acquaints the reader with some forms and operations of reasoning which are applied in the process of scientific cognition as well as in daily activities that require thought. As opposed to a number of well-known and unique handbooks and text-books on pure logic this books conveys learning, and in many cases original thoughts, through witty dialogues, in an entertaining way.

Contents: I. What is it good for? II. Have you any idea of it? Let's play Bar Kochba! Yes, no. What do you mean by? The chest-problem. Putting the things into boxes. Which kitten likes to play with a gorilla? III. True or not? It's not true that. Don't contradict yourself. So what? Either/or. Curiosity killed the cat. The teacher's dilemma. Prove that you are right! IV. Instead of epilogue.
