출판사 설명
Forallx is an introduction to sentential logic and first-order predicate logic with identity, logical systems that significantly influenced twentieth-century analytic philosophy. After working through the material in this book, a student should be able to understand most quantified expressions that arise in their philosophical reading. This book treats symbolization, formal semantics, and proof theory for each language. The discussion of formal semantics is more direct than in many introductory texts. Although forall x does not contain proofs of soundness and completeness, it lays the groundwork for understanding why these are things that need to be proven. Contents: What is logic? Sentential logic Truth tables Quanti ed logic Formal semantics Proofs Other symbolic notation Solutions to selected exercises

Helpful and Readable
If you are looking for a brief but readable introduction to formal logic, read this book. It is well written. Though it can be found for free online I like this version where I can highlight and take notes in the iBooks app. This book is used in some logic courses, (including schools like Cambridge) and is much better than your standard textbook.
