Review

Quine's book is of first-rate quality, and presents the materials of modern formal logic in a masterly fashion...A superb text: authoritative, mature, and brilliant and original in its exposition. (Ernest Nagel)

It is admirably precise and it is written with a deliciously light touch. (Joseph S. Ullian)

For a treatment of such modest size, it abounds in exciting ideas, freshness of perspective on old logical and philosophical problems, and in lucid and exact analysis. (R. J. Trayhern)
