About the author

Yin Haiguang: public information about his life and education is limited, so his profile can only be sketched from the works held in the library. Twelve of his titles are included, with representative works such as New Introduction to Logic, New Introduction to Logic: How to Tell Right from Wrong, Fundamentals of Logic, Lectures on Logic, and A General Course in Logic from Southwest Associated University. His writing centers on logic while also addressing methods of thinking and the training of clear judgment. Aimed at general readers, these works explain abstract logical principles in plain, accessible language, often starting from everyday judgments and arguments to help readers spot fallacies and organize their thinking. They are therefore of interest in philosophy reading, social science, and general education, and are often used as introductory references to logic. Beyond logic, the library's categories also touch on inspirational growth, social culture, and documentary literature, suggesting a practical concern with real life. Overall, his style is clear and pragmatic, focused on giving readers usable methods.
