Bertrand Russell coined the phrase "philosophical logic" to describe an approach to philosophical problems: find the correct logical form of the problematic sentences, and the problems vanish.This book explains both the theoretical underpinnings of the approach.

Logical Forms explains both the detailed problems involved in finding logical forms and also the theoretical underpinnings of philosophical logic. In this revised edition, exercises are integrated throughout the book. The result is a genuinely interactive introduction which engages the reader in developing the argument. Each chapter concludes with updated notes to guide further reading.

Mark Sainsbury is Susan Stebbing Professor of Philosophy at King's College London. He is the author of Russell (1979) and Paradoxes (second edition, 1995).
