用简明的方式，为你介绍「形式逻辑学」。

内容简介

Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory. Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technical terms, showing that logic is a powerful and exciting part of modern philosophy.

In this new edition Graham Priest expands his discussion to cover the subjects of algorithms and axioms, and proofs in mathematics.

    行文简单涉猎广泛的逻辑科普读物

    全书行文简单却又涉猎广泛，深入浅出，是一部很不错的逻辑科普读物。      书中对于逻辑学有着全面的介绍，重点介绍了现代逻辑学的基本要点，对于没有逻辑学知识背景的人非常友好。逻辑学本身是一个引用公式、定理非常多的学科，但是作者在本书中尽量少的运用那些复杂的定理公式让读者望而却步，而是用通俗易懂的实例来说明现代逻辑学的原理，让人们对逻辑学有更加深入的了解。      把复杂的学科书写的简单化，让每个人都可以领略逻辑之美，这是作者非常难能可贵的一点，而且阅读英文原文可以明显感觉的到作者对于文字的掌控感，值得推荐阅读。

      To learn logic by "Logic"

      Logic is not supposed to be confined to philosophy. In a scientific world, logic has become the root solution to almost everything.
