Description for Logic and Philosophy: An Integrated Introduction Paperback. Examines a range of logical concepts and methods as they relate to philosophical investigation in a larger context. Brenner aims to expose the depth of logic and its relevance to philosophy in general. He also discusses at length the work of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant and Wittgenstein. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: HPL. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 229 x 155 x 17. Weight in Grams: 345.

The dual purpose of this volume—to provide a distinctively philosophical introduction to logic, as well as a logic-oriented approach to philosophy—makes this book a unique and worthwhile primary text for logic and/or philosophy courses. Logic and Philosophy covers a variety of elementary formal and informal types of reasoning, including a chapter on traditional logic that culminates in a treatment of Aristotle's philosophy of science; a truth-functional logic chapter that examines Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, logic, and mysticism; and sections on induction, analogy, and fallacies that incorporate material on mind-body dualism, pseudoscience, the "raven paradox," and proofs of God.

It provides a solid, eminently readable, and gimmick-free introduction to categorical and sentential logic, and contains several philosophical positions for the student to practice analyzing. Instructors who emphasize argument analysis in their introductory philosophy courses should give this book serious consideration.” —American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly ... Read more
