This reissue, first published in 1971, provides a brief historical
account of the Theory of Logical Types; and describes the problems
that gave rise to it, its various different formulations (Simple
and Ramified), the difficulties connected with each, and the
criticisms that have been directed against it. Professor Copi seeks
to make the subject accessible to the non-specialist and yet
provide a sufficiently rigorous exposition for the serious student
to see exactly what the theory is and how it works.

For courses in Introduction to Logic or Critical Thinking.
Fundamental, Fresh, Focused. Rendered from Copi/Cohen's
Introduction to Logic, the most respected introductory logic text
on the market, this concise version explains all concepts and
techniques clearly, accurately, and thoroughly, bringing them to
life using a wealth of contemporary examples. Essentials of Logic
was created in response to a need in the market for a book that
effectively covered the fundamental issues in logic. The first
edition of Essentials of Logic was abridged from Copi and Cohen's
Introduction, 11th edition, with an eye to including all and only
those elements that most logic teachers would consider essential.
In the second edition, new topics have been added based on readers'
suggestions. For example, indirect and conditional proof techniques
have been added and many examples have been thoroughly revised and
rewritten. The result is a book that closely reflects what users
deem essential and does so in a way that is sensitive to the needs
of today's students.
