The goal of this book is to introduce the reader to the philosophy of logic, the traditional theory of the syllogism, induction and probability, and propositional and predicate logic. The book differs from other introductory logic texts by framing the study of logic in terms of problems connected to wider issues of epistemic, political and moral concerns that emerge in the context of racial, cultural, and religious diversity. It is designed for philosophers whosescholarly interests are grounded in American philosophy, feminist philosophy,social and political philosophy, the philosophy of race and culture, and Continental philosophy. Readers who seek to find connections between the formal concerns of logic and their other interests within and outside philosophy have an opportunity to see the relevance of logic to these concerns even as they learn standard logical systems.
