Logic, Logic, and Logic by George Boolos (PDF)

Description

George Boolos was one of the most prominent and influential logician-philosophers of recent times. This collection, nearly all chosen by Boolos himself shortly before his death, includes thirty papers on set theory, second-order logic, and plural quantifiers; on Frege, Dedekind, Cantor, and Russell; and on miscellaneous topics in logic and proof theory, including three papers on various aspects of the Gödel theorems. Boolos is universally recognized as the leader in the renewed interest in studies of Frege’s work on logic and the philosophy of mathematics. John Burgess has provided introductions to each of the three parts of the volume, and also an afterword on Boolos’s technical work in provability logic, which is beyond the scope of this volume.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I worked through a lot of this text at NCSU as a philosophy major in one of my advanced logic classes (I forget which one). Years later I read it cover-to-cover. It took a long time and I felt like there were some things that didn’t make sense to me until I had read the next few chapters. I often felt like I stood in disagreement with the author’s views (I can’t find my copy of the book now, but as I recall most of my resistance was in regards to Frege and the logicizability of mathematics). If you are a logic geek, you should read this. If you want to be a logic geek, read something else first.

⭐Excellent,as are all of the writings of George Boolos.

⭐A gem.

⭐This book is a must-buy, or at least a must-have. If you like logic, you must have this book — for it’ll give you what you like. If you don’t like logic, you must have this book — for it’ll snap you out of your (misplaced) dislike. You either like logic or you don’t. You figure it out!Truly, this book is a wonderful collection suited for anyone competent in classical first-order logic. Indeed, it serves as a rather nice second step into the world of logic beyond classical first-order. At the very least the book offers the best (informal) introductions to Goedel’s celebrated theorem, which is worth a lot.Anyone familiar with Boolos’ work will know that this book is a treat. Anyone not familiar with Boolos’ work must learn; and ~Logic, Logic, and Logic~ is a great place to start.

⭐Difficult to understand, important historically, good contition, late delivery.
