This one-volume encyclopedia of logic introduces the central
concepts of the field in a series of brief, non-technical,
cross-referenced dictionary entries. The 352 alphabetically
arranged entries give a clear, basic introduction to a very broad
range of logical topics. Entries can be found on deductive systems,
such as propositional logic, modal logic, deontic logic, temporal
logic, set theory, many-valued logic, mereology, and paraconsistent
logic. Similarly, there are entries on topics relating to those
previously mentioned such as negation, conditionals, truth tables,
and proofs. Historical periods and figures are also covered,
including ancient logic, medieval logic, Buddhist logic, Aristotle,
Ockham, Boole, Frege, Russell, Goedel, and Quine. There are even
entries relating logic to other areas and topics, like biology,
computers, ethics, gender, God, psychology, metaphysics, abstract
entities, algorithms, the ad hominem fallacy, inductive logic,
informal logic, the liar paradox, metalogic, philosophy of logic,
and software for learning logic. In addition to the dictionary,
there is a substantial chronology listing the main events in the
history of logic, an introduction that sketches the central ideas
of logic and how it has evolved into what it is today, and an
extensive bibliography of related readings. This book is not only
useful for specialists but also understandable to students and
other beginners in the field.
