Description
The Logic Manual is a clear and concise introduction to logic for beginning philosophy students. It provides a complete introductory course, guiding the reader through the topics in logic that are most important for the study of philosophy.
The book covers propositional and predicate logic, including an account of the semantics of these languages, with definitions of truth and satisfaction. Natural deduction is used as a proof system, and Volker Halbach introduces the essential concepts through examples and informal explanations, as well as abstract definitions.
Exercises, examples, and sample examination papers are available on an accompanying website, making this an ideal resource for those looking to develop their logical thinking and understanding of language, logic, and semantics.
