Easily accessible to students without extensive mathematics backgrounds, this
lucid and vividly written text emphasizes breadth of coverage rather than depth. Featuring
numerous exercises, answers, and helpful hints, it concisely and effectively introduces
students to the logic they need to know in order to read contemporary philosophy journal
articles.
