9781330193792: Foundations of Formal Logic (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore the basics of how formal logic represents meaning and truth.

This scholarly work introduces the key forms of logical expression, how terms and relationships are organized, and how diagrams and symbols illuminate reasoning. It grounds abstract ideas in concrete examples and traces the development from traditional syllogisms to modern symbolization.


  • Understand categorical forms like all, some, and no, and how they translate into propositional functions.

  • See how diagrams help demonstrate when statements are true, false, or untrue.

  • Learn how different systems of logic handle implication, conjunction, and disjunction.

  • Compare classical Aristotelian moods with a broader, symbol-driven approach to inference.



Ideal for readers of introductory logic or anyone curious about how formal reasoning is structured and tested against examples.

Product Description

Excerpt from Foundations of Formal Logic

The writer has again to express his indebtedness to Professor Singer for his introduction to the method which is here employed. This indebtedness is to be referred not only to the Syllabus of his lectures (reprinted pp. 46-52 in the writer's Letters on Logic) but also to many hints thrown out in private discussion.
