Graham Priest (2)Reseñas

There are two different translations.

Uma introdução muito pequenina sobre lógica, mas com uma sacada a mais: em um livro introdutório, com os tópicos esperados, resuminhos e exercícios, ainda assim já aponta para literatura divertida sobre o assunto, colocando alguns problemas históricos interessantes (como a aposta de pascal, a irrealidade do tempo etc, paradoxo de sorites), e introduz conteúdos diversos como lógica fuzzy, teoria da decisão, lógica modal.

Mielenkiintoinen jos ehkä lyhyt johdatus loogiseen ajatteluun. Matematiikkaa tarvitaan kyllä. Haastavia pulmia kirjan lopussa - niitten parissa saa älynystyröitä hieroa.

good book but very hard to read and follow

Reflection and Logic
The basic features of logic aren't easy to grasp. This introductory book gives the reader the indispensables tools to make the first steps in the field. The author explains the main questions in logic by reference to ordinary reasoning. The logic's operators are presented and the most important logicians are refered. In the final of each (short) chapter the main ideas are recapitulated. The author gives reading suggestions and a glossary of logic's symbols in the end of the book allows the beginers more familiarity with the technicalities of the field. Also in the end one finds questions to fix the informations presented in the book.

Very well written and detailed account of various branches of logic.
