Riassunto

As an introduction to the language of philosophy for the student without a sophisticated mathematical background, this volume emphasizes the basic concepts and procedures of modern symbolic logic rather than proofs. Topics include: sentence, modal imperative, and deontic logic; the predicate calculus; and relations and identity. Applying such techniques to reasoning about everyday behavior remains as controversial as it was when the concept was introduced in the 1973 edition by Clarke. Includes chapter exercises, some advanced topics, and supplementary appendices (e.g. a summary of syntactic rules). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
