Summary

An understanding of logic is fundamental to the study of philosophy. This stimulating and through guidebook offers clear explanation and exploration of the central issues and questions addressed when studying logic. Topics covered include reason and unreason, proving a point, entailment, truth, and the logic of components of speech and language. An invaluable resource for those studyng logic for the first time, this text provides a sound grasp of a fascinating, but often complex-and even daunting-component of philosophy.
