Abstract

(1) A KNOWLEDGE of the techniques of symbolic logic is now almost essential for an appreciation of modern philosophical thought, with its increasing dependence upon purely formal studies such as mathematical logic, semantics and the like. This introduction to the subject by the tutor in philosophy in Radcliffe College, which, as the author justly claims, is the first of its kind, is therefore particularly welcome ; especially as it is designed for students, who are often puzzled by the seeming unrelatedness of the different branches of the subject and by the varying terminologies used.
