Greg Restall's Logic provides concise introductions to
propositional and first-order predicate logic while showing how
formal logic intersects with substantial philosophical issues such
as vagueness, conditionals, relevance, propositional attitudes, and
opaque contents. The author also examines the ideas behind modal
logic, free logic, and other non-standard logics and discusses the
nature of logic itself. The book covers both natural deduction and
tree methods for proving validity. Each chapter includes excellent
suggestions for further reading and both elementary and more
advanced exercises, with solutions provided on a website. It is
flexibly designed to be useable for half or full-year courses, for
courses focusing exclusively on formal logic, or for a variety of
approaches that would integrate topics in philosophical logic.
Restall examines many of the interesting issues raised by basic
logical techniques and will undoubtedly stimulate further study in
the discipline. This is a logic book designed principally for
philosophers but which will also be of interest to students of
computer science, cognitive science, and linguistics.
