   Rigorous but participating and accessible, Introduction to Formal Logic with Philosophical Functions consists of two elements. The primary half (Chapters 1-5) offers a targeted, “nuts-and-bolts” introduction to formal deductive logic that covers syntax, semantics, translation, and pure deduction for propositional and predicate logics. The second half (Chapters 6-7) presents stand-alone, student-friendly essays on logic and its utility in philosophy and past, with writing prompts and recommendations for additional readings.

   For instructors preferring an exceptionally clear introduction to formal logic with out the additional philosophical purposes, Introduction to Formal Logic, an abbreviated, alternate model of Introduction to Formal Logic with Philosophical Functions, can be accessible.
