Companion to Philosophical Logic

Dale Jacquette is Professor of Philosophy at the Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of Philosophy of Mind (1994), Meinongian Logic: The Semantics of Existence and Nonexistence (1996), Wittgenstein's Thought in Transition (1998), Symbolic Logic (2001), David Hume's Critique of Infinity (2001), and On Boole: Logic as Algebra (2001), as well as numerous articles on logic, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and Wittgenstein. He is editor of Philosophy of Mathematics: An Anthology (Blackwell 2001) and Philosophy of Logic: An Anthology (Blackwell 2001).

"Here is a first-class collection of articles by a first-class collection of authors. It covers the full range of philosophical logic from its history through its philosophy to its applications, with a lot of good, solid logic all along the way. Of particular value is the way it presents multiple voices on common topics. This is the way philosophy should be done."—Lou Goble, Willamette University
