Logic: An Introduction to Elementary Logic by Wilfrid Hodges (PDF)

Description

Logic is primarily about consistency – but not all types of consistency. For example if a man supports Arsenal one day and supports Spurs the next then he is fickle, but not necessarily illogical. The type of consistency which concerns logicians is not loyalty or justice or sincerity but compatibility of beliefs. Logic, therefore, involves studying the situations in which a sentence is true or valid and subsequently the rules which determine the validity or otherwise of a given argument.

⭐great book

⭐(Note: the following review is of the 1st edition of Logic. I have not seen the second.)In general, I would rate this a very good intro. to logic. The first half of the book lays the necessary groundwork cogently. Hodges builds from simple principles to increasingly complex logical concepts and constructs. In the first half of the book he takes nothing for granted, and the presentation is adequate for a complete novice. In the second half, however, Hodges leaves too many concepts inadequately explained/defined. It was considerably more difficult — at times prohibitively so as a beginner — to follow his argumentation. That said, Logic is not a textbook on the subject (though the first half of the book adequately serves the purpose). It is more of a cursory survey. As such, it’s second half does not disappoint. Though the second half did not equip me to ‘practice’ logic as well as the first did, it certainly piqued my interest in pursuing further studies of the subject. Overall, a very readable and enjoyable book

⭐Delivered efficiently, old book but worth the money.
