Reviews'the authors have succeeded in dealing clearly with the most central concerns of logicians in the 21st Century...It is refreshing to note that the authors do not find it necessary to burden this book with too many formalisations and an exaggerated use of symbolic logic. This makes the book accessible for everybody who wants to know more about what could make thinking rational and reasoning logical...The authors have achieved a delicate balance between providing information on logical problems and digging into their relationship with a wider philosophical context.' ~ E. Van Laerhoven, Acta Comparanda XVII, 'the four joint authors of Logic...meet their readers on the latter's own ground..and lace their expositions with a disarming sense of humour.' Times Higher Education Supplement, May 2006
