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.
