About the author

"Willard Van Orman Quine (June 25, 1908 Akron, Ohio – December 25, 2000) (known to intimates as "Van"), was an American analytic philosopher and logician. From 1930 until his death 70 years later, Quine was affiliated in some way with Harvard University, first as a student, then as a professor of philosophy and a teacher of mathematics, and finally as an emeritus elder statesman who published or revised seven books in retirement. He filled the Edgar Pierce Chair of Philosophy at Harvard, 1956-78. Quine falls squarely into the analytic philosophy tradition while also being the main proponent of the view that philosophy is not conceptual analysis. His major writings include "Two Dogmas of Empiricism", which attacked the distinction between analytic and synthetic propositions and advocated a form of semantic holism, and Word and Object which further developed these positions and introduced the notorious indeterminacy of translation thesis." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_...

الكاتب يقصد بـ"بسيط" إنه عرض ملخص لأهم ما يجب معرفته في المنطق الحديث، ولا يعني انه موجه لشخص أول مرة يبدأ في المنطق لأنه محتاج معرفة مسبقة عن بعض المواضيع المنطقية والرياضية قبل البدء به.
كتاب ممتع جدا ومفيد.

This book shows you the cliff notes about what Elementary logic is all about. A must have if you are learning about logic in general. A great piece of art. Dr. Quine you done it again.

I actually didn't finish this book. But as a layperson studying on my own I wish I could. It seems as though it is an extremely bare bones set of notes for a classroom setting. There is no real elaboration or illustration of what is being taught. The author states the rules of whatever part of logic he's on at the moment, and then moves on.

I also feel as though a lot more could have been said as far as the logical notation given.

If you had to learn logic from this book, I pity you. :/
