LOGIC: Springer Undergraduate Texts in Philosophy

Autor Andrea Iacona
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2026
This second edition improves upon the first by offering a more detailed treatment of key topics and by expanding the set of problems and exercises. In particular, four new features deserve mention. First, the book now includes a more thorough exposition of natural deduction, explaining how derivations can be represented as trees of formulas. Second, it provides a detailed explanation of the main proof methods, illustrated with examples. Third, it offers a separate exposition of the logic of identity. Fourth, it presents a fuller treatment of modal logic, including results on consistency, soundness, and completeness. Additional changes include new examples drawn from elementary mathematics, a refined notation, and a more functional subdivision of the material, which simplifies some proofs and enhances clarity and readability. Overall, the text preserves the style of the first edition, aiming to present core ideas clearly, concisely, and with minimal distractions.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

​This textbook is a logic manual which includes an elementary course and an advanced course. 
It covers more than most introductory logic textbooks, while maintaining a comfortable pace that students can follow. The technical exposition is clear, precise and follows a paced increase in complexity, allowing the reader to get comfortable with previous definitions and procedures before facing more difficult material. The book also presents an interesting overall balance between formal and philosophical discussion, making it suitable for both philosophy and more formal/science oriented students.  
This textbook is of great use to undergraduate philosophy students, graduate philosophy students, logic teachers,  undergraduates and graduates in mathematics, computer science or related fields in which logic is required. 

Caracteristici

Suitable for undergraduate introductions to logic and early graduate courses on logic Presents both detailed technical aspects and philosophical aspects of logic Lays out the matter by following a paced increase in complexity
