An introduction to the central issues and problems in the philosophy of logic.
The development and study of logical systems has advanced enormously in recent years,
and there has been a corresponding growth of interest in the philosophical implications of these systems.
The interplay between formal and philosophical enquiries has been dynamic:
problems about the interpretation of classical logic and its standard apparatus
motivated formal innovation with non-standard logics,
which in turn broadened and enriched the philosophical issues.
The whole area is currently at the centre of attention among logicians and philosophers,
and is also of substantial interest to those linguists, psychologists and computer scientists
concerned with the relation between formal and natural languages and between logic and human reasoning.
