“Before I retired from the University of Cambridge it was my greatest good fortune
to have secure, decently paid, university posts for forty years in leisurely times,
with almost total freedom to follow my interests wherever they led. Like many
of my contemporaries, for most of that time I didn’t really appreciate just how
lucky I was. This Study Guide to logic textbooks is one very small attempt to
give a little back by way of heartfelt thanks.
Please don’t be scared off by the Guide’s length! This is due to its coverage
starting just one step above the level of what is often called ‘baby logic’ and
then going quite a long way down the road towards pretty advanced stuff. Different readers will therefore want to jump on and off the bus at different stops.
Simply choose the sections which are most relevant to your background and your
interests.”
