An exceptionally clear, concise, and affordable introduction to logic, The Logic Manual
 carefully walks beginning philosophy students through the fundamentals,
 offering them a real understanding of how and why logic works. Author 
Volker Halbach presents essential concepts through examples, informal 
explanations, and abstract definitions. Topics covered include 
propositional and predicate logic (with and without identity) and an 
account of the semantics of these languages, including definitions of 
truth and satisfaction. In addition, natural deduction is used as a 
proof system. Extensively class-tested, The Logic Manual
 provides the best introduction available to the general, abstract 
approach to thinking about language, logic, and semantics that is 
characteristic of contemporary philosophy. A Companion Website provides 
exercises, examples, and sample examination papers.
