Irving Copi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irving Marmer Copi (born Copilowish, July 28, 1917–August 19, 2002) was an American philosopher, author and logician. He was born in Duluth, Minnesota, and died at his home in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Copi had appointments at the University of Illinois, the United States Air Force Academy, Princeton University and the Georgetown University Logic Institute before teaching logic at the University of Michigan from 1958 to 1969 and becoming a professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1969. He retired from UH in 1990 because of poor health.
Copi is probably best known for his authorship of Introduction to Logic and Informal Logic, both of which are used in many university-level logic courses.
