A jewel of a philosophical introduction to formal logic. It is logically sound, philosophically sophisticated, and pedagogically thoughtful. - Wilfried Sieg, Camegle Mellon University; In this book, one gets two things: an informal approach to logic for those who have been terrified by any formula they encountered, and a mathematical presentation that gives an idea of the rigor and beauty of logic as a structural science. - Neue Zurcher Zeitung; The purchase of this book is strongly suggested to every reader in search of an introduction, not only for substantive... but also for stylistic reasons. [Hoyningen-Huene] writes extremely well and at times even quite wittily, which is all too rare in (German) introductory textbooks. - Information Philosophie; Deserves to become a standard work. - Freiburger Zeitschrift fur Philosophie und Theologie
