Publisher's Synopsis
Elementary Symbolic Logic: Concepts, Techniques, and Context introduces symbolic logic in a way that is accessible and yet rigorous enough to provide an adequate foundation for students who intend to further pursue studies in logic, or who work in areas of study—for example, philosophy or linguistics—where a serious understanding of logic is nonnegotiable. Moreover, while it is not a history book, it aims to provide some context for the development of symbolic logic. Overall, this book accommodates the needs of liberal arts students who may not take a further course in logic as well as students who are interested in further studies in logic; it presents logic as a human creation developed by real human beings; and it aims to cover those topics that are essential for students in a first course in symbolic logic.
