Description
This comprehensive introduction to modern symbolic logic provides a rigorous and clear overview of the subject from its elementary concepts. Rudolf Carnap develops the field through the construction and analysis of various logical languages, before applying it to clarify and axiomatize theories in mathematics, physics, and biology.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including constants and variables, predicates, sentential connectives, truth-tables, universal and existential sentences, definitions, identity, isomorphism, and many others. A particular emphasis is placed on the logic of relations, with hundreds of problems, examples, and exercises included to help students practice and familiarize themselves with symbolic logic.
