Opis

Originally published in 1967. The common aim of all logical enquiry is to discover and analyse correctly the forms of valid argument. In this book concise expositions of traditional, Aristotelian logic and of modern systems of propositional and predicative logic show how far that aim has been achieved.

Recenzje

Reviews of the original publication:
‘Mr Mitchell is quite consciously controversial; he has opponents clearly in view, and the progress of his discussion is dialectical at every stage.’ The Times Educational Supplement

‘Stimulating . . . it can be read with great profit by philosophers of all interests and it would be hard not to learn from it." Australasian Journal of Philosophy
