Description
Logic is a comprehensive introduction to the major concepts and techniques involved in the study of logic. It explores both formal and philosophical logic and examines the ways in which we can achieve good reasoning. The methods of logic are essential to an understanding of philosophy and are also crucial in the study of mathematics, computing, linguistics and in many other subjects. Individual chapters include: * Propositions and Arguments * Truth Tables * Trees * Conditionality * Natural Deduction * Predicates, Names and Quantifiers * Definite Descriptions Logic is an exceptionally clear introduction to the subject and is ideally suited to students taking introductory courses in logic.
