Leslie Armour FRSC (9 March 1931 – 1 November 2014) was a Canadian-born philosopher and writer on social economics.
[2] There is a bibliography to 2001 and extensive commentaries on Armour's work in William Sweet's Idealism, Metaphysics, and Community.
[3] Armour's most recent book, Inference and Persuasion: An Introduction to Logic and Critical Reasoning (2005), was co-authored by Richard A. Feist.
It is written so as to be accessible to all audiences and is concerned with the problems associated with logic, offering suggestions rather than solutions, for, as Armour states, nothing is certain.
[8] Examining John Dewey's logic (Chapter Four), the notion that reason and experience are interconnected is evident.
In "Logic and Politics" we see the notion of classes, as assembled from members, as individualist, with community interests ignored.
Where that line is drawn readers must decide for themselves"[14] Armour was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in August 1998, which recognized his significant contribution to research and scholarly work.
