Book Reviews of Logic: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Book Review: Argh
Summary: 4 Stars
The other reviews are right on the mark. My only problem is the book arrived with the first 18 pages (including front page, index, etc.) missing!
It's not damaged. They haven't fallen out. They were just not there to begin with. (you can tell by the binding) The "first" page of my book starts in mid-sentence, lol.
An even much shorter Introduction to Logic, indeed.
Summary of Logic: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory. Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technical terms, showing that logic is a powerful and exciting part of modern philosophy.General Books
