About this title

Synopsis

LOGIC AND PHILOSOPHY: A MODERN INTRODUCTION, 11E is a comprehensive introduction to logic that is both rigorous and user-friendly. Numerous carefully crafted exercise sets accompanied by crisp, clear exposition take you from sentential logic through first-order predicate logic, the theory of descriptions, and identity. As the title suggests, this is a book devoted not merely to logic; you also will encounter an abundance of philosophy.

Howard Kahane received a master's degree from the University of California at Los Angeles and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. He was a professor of philosophy at Bernard M. Baruch college in New York and is considered one of the founders of the critical-thinking movement, an approach to logic that makes it less abstract and more practical as a tool for analyzing political and social issues.
