Synopsis
"This book is terrific. It covers the basics of philosophical logic in a lively, interesting, and informative way. Readers do not have to wade through pages and pages of technical material. Instead, they get the basics, and the big picture."—Stewart Shapiro, editor of The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic
"Nicely done and very useful for someone who wants a compact and accessible introduction to nonclassical logic."—Kit Fine, New York University
Alasdair Urquhart - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
Burgess has managed to pack an amazing amount of good material into this short monograph, and it can be confidently recommended to any philosopher who wishes to go beyond an introductory logic course and venture into the wilds of philosophical logic. The technical details are of necessity sketchy, but the author provides the reader with helpful lists for further reading at the end of each chapter, as well as a good bibliography. This is an excellent little book, and deserves wide success.
