beginning logic by Lemmon, E. J. Professor - 1971

Nelson, Middlesex, England, 1971. reprint. Softcover. Good Condition. The aim of this book is to provide an exposition of elementary formal logic. The course, which is primarily intended for first-year students who have no previous knowledge of the subject, forms a working basis for more advanced reading and is presented in such a way as to be intelligible to the layman. The nature of logic is examined with the gradual introduction of worked samples showing how to distinguish the sound statement from the unsound. Arguments whose soundness cannot be proved by propositional calculus are discussed, and it is shown how formalization can reveal the logical form of arguments. The final section of the book deals with the application of the predicate calculus as applied in various other fields of logic. – rear panel blurb the bottom edge of the text block and the bottom part of the page margins shows either foxing or moisture mark.
