Product Description

Review

"'Introducing is a miracle of modern publishing... buy one now.' Don Patterson, Guardian"


Product Description

Logic is the backbone of Western civilization, holding together its systems of philosophy, science and law. Yet despite logic's widely acknowledged importance, it remains an unbroken seal for many, due to its heavy use of jargon and mathematical symbolism.This book follows the historical development of logic, explains the symbols and methods involved and explores the philosophical issues surrounding the topic in an easy-to-follow and friendly manner. It will take you through the influence of logic on scientific method and the various sciences from physics to psychology, and will show you why computers and digital technology are just another case of logic in action.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really helpful overview, 6 Mar 2005
By D. Pavett (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Introducing Logic (Paperback)
I studied quite a lot of the material in this book at universtity. I understood many of the different contributions but could not see the development of logical ideas in the 20th century as a whole. After reading this book you will be able to see the relationship between major ideas in philosophy, logic, mathematics and linguistics. One could quibble about details but why bother? Overall the book makes hard ideas accessible and puts them into context. What more can you ask for?

3.0 out of 5 stars What, no Boole?, 31 Oct 2005
By Peter Reeve (Thousand Oaks, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Introducing Logic (Paperback)
It may seem petty to complain about the omission of one logician in a book that covers such a vast scope in such little space, but really the absence of a key figure like George Boole is very strange. However, the book remains a great summary and overview. It introduces many important ideas and thinkers, is fun and readable and will help you decide if you want to pursue the subject further. If you do, the reading list at the end will steer you in the right direction. If you are completely new to the subject, I would not actually recommend this as your very first book. Ironically enough, you would be better starting with an elementary text on Boolean algebra, to show you some formal logic in action. Then you would get more out of this present work, the great strength of which is that it provides a historical and conceptual framework for further study.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is no such thing as Logic, 1 Jan 2003
This review is from: Introducing Logic (Paperback)
This book actually does what it says - give a introduction to logic.

But, and this is why the book is worth 5 stars, it is an textbook example of how a slim volume can sumarise an entire subject in human history.

My belief in rationality was overturned, matured and finally reconstructed!!!

Buy this book if you a techie, and think that almost all problems in the world could be managed if the world would come to it's senses and stop oversimplifing everything!!!
