"The Blackwell Philosophy Anthologies have set a very high standard and Dale Jacquette's Philosophy of Logic handily maintains this customary level of breadth of coverage and importance of content. Its inclusion of a vast amount of interesting material will make teaching from this anthology a delight." Nicholas Rescher, University of Pittsburgh

"Dale Jacquette in Philosophy of Logic: An Anthology brings together some of the most important papers in twentieth-century philosophy of logic ... as a source book for a course on philosophy of logic it is a useful collection. It would also provide supplementary reading for courses on philosophy of mathematics or language." Times Higher Education Supplement

This volume provides a comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary readings in the philosophy of logic.
