Logic

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 domains.

Individual chapters include:

• Propositions and arguments

• Truth tables

• Trees

• Conditionality

• Natural deduction

• Predicate, names and quantifiers

• Definite descriptions

Logic is an exceptionally clear introduction to the subject and is ideally suited to students

taking an introductory course in logic.

Greg Restall is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Melbourne University, Australia.

Fundamentals of Philosophy

Series editor: John Shand

This series presents an up-to-date set of engrossing, accurate and lively introductions to

all the core areas of philosophy. Each volume is written by an enthusiastic and

knowledgeable teacher of the area in question. Care has been taken to produce works that

while even-handed are not mere bland expositions, and as such are original pieces of

philosophy in their own right. The reader should not only be well informed by the series,

but also experience the intellectual excitement of being engaged in philosophical debate

itself. The volumes serve as an essential basis for the under-graduate courses to which

they relate, as well as being accessible and absorbing for the general reader. Together

they comprise an indispensable library of living philosophy.
