Post Learning Logic and Philosophy

I have now gotten the basic theories and works of phylosophy down. Now I would like to move on to working out my own ideas in words, so basicly could someone provide books or links which teach the use of logic? <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" /> Also, how many of the phylosophical works are organized like Ethics, since as more of a mathematician I can relate and understand reasoning like that better?

I recommend Immanuel Kant's Logic, in translation. (Hartman & Schwarz). It is what he taught his students and used throughout his life as a kind of backbone which lays out all of the groundwork principles in relatively clear prose. Since you apparently have already mastered Kant, much of it will be familiar.

I think there is also another translation by Young that is even better, using the title Kant: Lectures on Logic.

Irving Copi's "Introduction to Logic" is pretty comprehensive. It's a college text, though, so it can be a bit dry.
