Logic and Philosophy: A Modern Introduction

I purchased this book as the required textbook for a logic course. The content is understandable but the binding is of poor quality. So far the complete first chapter has come lose from the binding. I can’t return the book because I need it for the logic course.

No matter the content I am extremely dissatisfied with the book because it is falling apart! Even though I bought it not all that long ago I believe that a book should be of better quality and not fall apart for many years of use!

I am a former logic instructor at the university level. This book makes for a good introduction to sentential and quantification logics, though it does not discuss the semantics, hermeneutics, linguistics and/or meta-linguistics, and philosophical questions regarding the meaning of inference, etc. Guaranteed to be a boring read and likely will not bring much clarity to the minds of its readers that is applicable to real life.

The Kindle edition needs a MAJOR reformating. As it is now it is virtually unusable. I included a screen shot of the text from my iPad. The circled area should be a truth table. It isn’t. It prints out as though it was line text and it makes no sense what-so-ever. This type of problem occurs throughout the book.
