Logic: A Very Short Introduction

È un testo denso, solo apparentemente agevole.Richiedi molta ponderazione per seguire il percorso dell'autore, dialeteista e noneista.Consigliato specie per chi ha una certa preparazione in campo logico, e inclina verso le posizioni dell'autore.Consegna puntuale.

Esse livro realmente me ajudou muito a entender tanto o valor da lógica como os seus limites e as pontas soltas no estudo do tema. A dificuldade de leitura do livro é a dificuldade do tema. Eu senti que o autor se esforça mesmo em tornar as coisas simples, mas jamais perde o rigor e a precisão nas explicações. Eu recomendo fortemente a leitura para os interessados!

Very happy with this book. Have not read all of it yet, but from what I have read it is a very clear account of logic for beginners or those studying philosophy at the undergrad level.

This is a very compressed introduction to logic which has a more philosophical scope in its applications. However, it contains valuable information of what constitutes a mathematical proof, the original motivation of symbolic logic or mathematical logic. It is not, perhaps like any other introduction to logic, aimed at the lazy reader.

The book is certainly interesting and contains a lot of facts briefly put. This is perhaps the one difficulty, a lot of basic knowledge is either assumed or mentioned extremely briefly. I am intending to go through it again and make notes! An example of an assumption is for one's knowledge of the symbols representing logic and truth functions. An appendix of these would be helpful as they are difficult to check being unfamiliar symbols not on a keyboard. However, I do get the reassuring feeling that the book is written (as all of the very short introduction series) by people who really do know what they are writing about and are experts at the forefront of their subject.
