Description: 'What Grayling's book aims to introduce its readers to is nothing less than ... the most distinctive preoccupation of twentieth-century English-speaking philosophy: its belief in the central importance of philosophical logic ... In supplying a rationalised account of the main twists and turns taken by this dominant trend ... Grayling has succeeded admirably.'Crispin Wright, Times Higher Education SupplementAn Introduction to Philosophical Logic is a popular mainstay among students taking courses in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language. Covering some of the most central topics in philosophy --- the proposition, theories of truth, existence, meaning and reference, realism and anti-realism --- it aims to be an accessible guide to philosophical logic.This new edition keeps the same successful format, with each chapter providing a self-contained introduction to the topic it discusses, rewritten to include updated information. The author has also revised his concluding chapter and completely updated the bibliography.A. C.
