Introduction to Logical Theory (Routledge Revivals)

by P. F. Strawson

Overview

First published in 1952, professor's Strawson's highly influential Introduction to Logical Theory provides a detailed examination of the relationship between the behaviour of words in common language and the behaviour of symbols in a logical system. He seeks to explain both the exact nature of the discipline known as Formal Logic, and also to reveal something of the intricate logical structure of ordinary unformalised discourse.
