About this title

Synopsis

Meaning and Argument is a popular introduction to philosophy of logic and philosophy of language.

• Offers a distinctive philosophical, rather than mathematical, approach to logic
• Concentrates on symbolization and works out all the technical logic with truth tables instead of derivations
• New edition incorporates the insights of half a century’s work in philosophy and linguistics on anaphora by Peter Geach, Gareth Evans, Hans Kamp, and Irene Heim among others
• Contains numerous exercises and a corresponding answer key
• An extensive appendix allows readers to explore subjects that go beyond what is usually covered in an introductory logic course
• Features an accompanying website at http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/~logic/MeaningArgument.html
