Logic is the backbone of Western civilisation, holding together our systems of philosophy, science and law. Yet despite its importance, logic remains for many an unbroken seal. 'Introducing Logic' follows the historical development of this intriguing subject, with the help of Bill Mayblin's insightful artwork.

Introducing Logic follows the historical development of this intriguing subject, explaining its symbols and methods, exploring complex philosophical issues and intricate mathematics with the help of Bill Mayblin's insightful artwork. Are computers and digital technology just another case of logic in action? What are the difficulties and limitations of logical systems? Logic is, too, a hidden part of our everyday lives - from the "fuzzy logic" used by computer spellcheckers to what we expect as the norms of journalistic debate. Introducing Logic brings a discipline with a reputation for impenetrability to the general reader at last.

Sharron Shatil is a lecturer at University College London. Dan Cryan studied Philosophy at University College London, writing his postgraduate dissertation on the philosophy of language. He lives in London SE3. Bill Mayblin is a senior partner in the London-based design group Information Design Workshop, and has also illustrated Introducing books on Derrida and Linguistics.
