Meaning and Argument is a popular introduction to philosophy of logic and philosophy of language.

  • Offers a distinctive philosophical, rather than mathematical, approach to logic
  • Concentrates on symbolization and works out all the technical logic with truth tables instead of derivations
  • Incorporates the insights of half a century's work in philosophy and linguistics on anaphora by Peter Geach, Gareth Evans, Hans Kamp, and Irene Heim among others
  • Contains numerous exercises and a corresponding answer key
  • An extensive appendix allows readers to explore subjects that go beyond what is usually covered in an introductory logic course
  • Updated edition includes over a dozen new problem sets and revisions throughout
  • Features an accompanying website at http: //ruccs.rutgers.edu/ logic/MeaningArgument.html
