Description
Logic: A Very Short Introduction by Graham Priest Logic is often misunderstood as being separate from other areas of philosophy and even less relevant to everyday life. However, this introduction reveals how wrong that perception is. Graham Priest explores the philosophical roots of logic, explaining how modern formal logic deals with complex issues such as the nature of time and probability. Priest explains the basics of formal logic in simple terms, showing that it is a powerful tool for understanding many aspects of philosophy. The book also covers new topics, including algorithms and axioms, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject. This second edition builds on Priest's previous work, offering a fresh perspective on the foundations of logic. This introduction is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, which offers concise and accessible guides to many subjects.
