The intuitive concept of consequence, the notion that one sentence
follows logically from another, has driven the study of logic for
more than two thousand years. But logic has moved forward
dramatically in the past century - largely as a result of bringing
mathematics to bear on the field. The infusion of mathematically
precise definitions and techniques has turned a field dominated by
homely admonitions into one characterized by illuminating theorems.
The aim of this book is to correct a common misunderstanding of one
of the most widely used techniques of mathematical logic. Central
to the received view is Tarski's model-theoretic analysis of
logical consequence, which Etchemendy argues is fundamentally
mistaken. Save indirectly, by those who question classical
principles, this standard analysis has gone unchallenged for half a
century, with the result that it has come to seem a piece of common
knowledge. Etchemendy's critique will shatter the complacency.
