An Introduction to Non-Classical Logic

Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy

by Graham Priest

This book is an introduction to nonclassical propositional logics. It brings together for the first time in a textbook a range of topics in logic, many of them of relatively recent origin, including modal, conditional, intuitionist, many-valued, paraconsistent, relevant and fuzzy logics. Students with a basic understanding of classical logic will find this an invaluable introduction to an area that has become of central importance in both logic and philosophy. It will be of interest to readers studying logic and, more widely, to readers working in mathematics and computer science.

[MaryKate Berg]

not only is this the worst text book I have read about non-classical logic, It is also just a bad text book.

[Poiq Wuy]

Es muy buen libro, muy didáctico, cada tema muy conciso y bien organizado. Es extenso porque cubre mucho material. Incluye muchos ejercicios muy útiles para entender y practicar lo entendido. Hay comentarios filosóficos diseminados por el libro según son oportunos. En el equilibrio entre ser didáctico y explicar en detalle y con cuidado cada sistema lógico, por un lado, y por el otro dar una vista panorámica que refleje la variedad de sistemas lógicos actuales, se ha inclinado más hacia la segunda opción.

A nice, clear walk-through of tableau methods for non-standard sentence logic.

I believe I'm going to recommend reading this and Ldm together.
