Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory. Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technical terms, showing that logic is a powerful and exciting part of modern philosophy.
In this new edition Graham Priest expands his discussion to cover the subjects of algorithms, axioms, and proofs in mathematics.

A bit disappointing.

An introduction to logic should aim to cultivate critical thinking and avoid perpetuating logical fallacies. Unfortunately, this book does the opposite, relying on flawed reasoning while presenting it as objective fact. This undermines its credibility and reveals what appears to be the author’s true agenda. Even if the intent were not so transparently biased (and it is), the pervasive use of logical fallacies throughout the text renders it unworthy of a higher rating.
Deceptive title - poor quality
