V. Quine's new edition will serve admirably for both classroom and independent use.

About this title

Review:

For a treatment of such modest size, it abounds in exciting ideas, freshness of perspective on old logical and philosophical problems, and in lucid and exact analysis.--R. J. Trayhern

It is admirably precise and it is written with a deliciously light touch.--Joseph S. Ullian

Quine's book is of first-rate quality, and presents the materials of modern formal logic in a masterly fashion... A superb text: authoritative, mature, and brilliant and original in its exposition.--Ernest Nagel

About the Author:
