Inhaltsangabe

Formal logic provides us with a powerful set of techniques for criticizing some arguments and showing others to be valid. These techniques are relevant to all of us with an interest in being skilful and accurate reasoners. In this very accessible book, extensively revised and rewritten for the second edition, Peter Smith presents a guide to the fundamental aims and basic elements of formal logic. He introduces the reader to the languages of propositional and predicate logic, and develops natural deduction systems for evaluating arguments translated into these languages. His discussion is richly illustrated with worked examples and exercises, and alongside the formal work there is illuminating philosophical commentary. This book, a corrected reprint of an edition first published by CUP, will make an ideal text for a first logic course and will provide a firm basis for further work in formal and philosophical logic.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Peter Smith has been a consciousness explorer for almost 30 years. He left a promising career as a banking executive to chase his dreams and follow the call of his soul. He started originally by exploring some of his own past lives, before being trained as a Hypnotherapist and taking clients on journeys, transcending time and space. Over time he founded two Hypnotherapy Schools, the modality of Hypnoenergetics and became president of the Michael Newton Institute for Life Between Lives from 2009 to 2019. His journey took him further, to create the Institute for Quantum Consciousness and build a network of facilitators all around the world who take clients on journeys to show them their magnificence, transcend old therapeutic systems and blend science and spirituality. Pete is determined to blaze new trails for others to follow and this particular book embraces many of the ideas and concepts that he has researched, taught and offered to his clients over his metaphysical career. Previous published works include Hypnoenergetics - The Four Dimensions (Barker-Deane 2011) and Quantum Consciousness - Journey through other realms (Llewellyn Publishing 2018). Pete has written over a dozen forewords for non-fiction books in the consciousness genre and is a sought after speaker in his chosen field. He has had short stories and poems published and written articles for Nexus Magazine and the Journal of Humanistic Psychology. The Transcendence of Celeste Kelly is his first novel. Pete can sometimes be found amusing the crowd at the Poetry Slam, in his local town of Bellingen, NSW Australia.
