About this Item

Cloth hardcover, xv + 437 pages, NOT ex-library. Extensive creasing and a small edge-nick in the side margin of two leaves (pp 283-286). Book is clean with unmarked text, slightly age-yellowed, free of foxing; no stamps, no inscriptions. Secure binding, undamaged hinges. Faint dusty fingermarks on boards. -- The present book is an elementary textbook on logic for university undergraduates, primarily intended for students of law. It covers fundamental knowledge in the fields of semiotics, formal logic, and the general methodology of sciences. Collectively, these fields are referred to as "logic" in its broadest sense. The textbook provides a careful selection of materials from these areas, along with supplementary information from adjacent branches of knowledge, aimed at aiding students in mastering practical skills useful for the thinking processes of lawyers. While the book focuses on skills that are particularly relevant to legal thinking, it does not limit its content to examples tied exclusively to juridical problems. In fact, in some cases, such examples might not be the most suitable due to their complexity. The final section of the textbook presents specifically juridical applications of logic and includes an analysis of the intellectual activities involved in legal practice. However, the first two parts of the book form an independent unit and can be used as a basic logic textbook for students in various humanities disciplines. This book is an essential guide for those interested in the practical application of logic in legal and other humanistic contexts, offering a comprehensive introduction to the core concepts of logic and its relevance in academic and professional settings.

About this title

Synopsis

The present book is an elementary textbook on logic for university undergraduates. It is intended mainly for students of law. The volume contains the fundamental knowledge in the field of semiotics, and in the field of formal logic and general methodology of sciences. Semiotics, formal logic and the general methodology of sciences are jointly called by the name of "logic" in the widest sense of the word. The selection of materials from these fields and of supplementary information concerning other adjacent branches of knowledge, has been made primarily with a view to making more evident and contributing to the mastery of those skills useful in practice for the thinking processes of lawyers. This does not mean that the whole subject matter has been restricted to a choice of examples that might in one way or another be connected with juridical problems. In any cases such examples might not always be the most appropriate in view of their complicated character. The final part of the textbook contains the presentation of some specifically juridical applications of logic and an analysis of the intellectual activities of lawyers. The first two parts constitute, however, an independent entity and may be used as an elementary textbook on logic for students of various branches of the humanities.
