Meaning and Argument

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
