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." --Publisher description. 650 0 $a Logic. 650 7 $a Logic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002014 650 7 $a MATHEMATICS / Logic. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / Logic. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Very short introductions ; $v 29. 941 $a 2 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033159.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D3DADB48C0E11E9A8F66B4B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
