Philosophical Logic: An Introduction to Advanced Topics
continuum (2010)
| Abstract | This title introduces students to non-classical logic, syllogistic, to quantificational and modal logic. The book includes exercises throughout and a glossary of terms and symbols. Taking students beyond classical mathematical logic, "Philosophical Logic" is a wide-ranging introduction to more advanced topics in the study of philosophical logic. Starting by contrasting familiar classical logic with constructivist or intuitionist logic, the book goes on to offer concise but easy-to-read introductions to such subjects as quantificational and syllogistic logic, modal logic and set theory. Chapters of this title include: Sentential Logic; Quantificational Logic; Sentential Modal Logic; Quantification and Modality; Set Theory; Incompleteness; An Introduction to Term Logic; and, Modal Term Logic. In addition, the book includes a list of symbols and a glossary of terms for ease of reference and exercises throughout help students master the topics covered in the book. | |||||||||
