Logic for Philosophy is an introduction to logic for students of
contemporary philosophy. It is suitable both for advanced
undergraduates and for beginning graduate students in philosophy.
It covers (i) basic approaches to logic, including proof theory and
especially model theory, (ii) extensions of standard logic that are
important in philosophy, and (iii) some elementary philosophy of
logic. It emphasizes breadth rather than depth. For example, it
discusses modal logic and counterfactuals, but does not prove the
central metalogical results for predicate logic (completeness,
undecidability, etc.) Its goal is to introduce students to the
logic they need to know in order to read contemporary philosophical
work. It is very user-friendly for students without an extensive
background in mathematics. In short, this book gives you the
understanding of logic that you need to do philosophy.
