A preliminary section opens the subject under the heading of truth- functions. Two subsequent parts on quantification and classes, each subdivided into numerous brief specifics, complete the overview. Suitable for students of philosophy as well as mathematics, the three-part treatment begins with the intuitive development of the standard theory of sentential connectives (called "operators"). The theory is further developed with the assistance of truth-tables and ultimately as a logistic system. Part II explores first- order quantification theory. In addition to examining most of the familiar laws that can be expressed by monadic formulas, the text addresses polyadic principles and the theories of identity and descriptions. Part III focuses on elementary concepts of classes, from class membership and class inclusion to the algebra of classes. Each part concludes with a series of exercises. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 650 0 Logic. 650 7 PHILOSOPHY / Logic.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Lazerowitz, Morris,|d1909-1987. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAmbrose, Alice, 1906-|tLogic : the theory of formal inference.|dMineola, New York : Dover Publications, Inc., 2015.|z9780486796772|w(DLC)2015020217 914 frd00007368
