Reviews

The Bloomsbury Companion to Philosophical Logic provides a broad range of topics to choose from with the papers varying as to how demanding they are technically. Additionally, the editors furnished not only a guide at the beginning of the book, but also a very helpful list of further readings. These features suggest that this volume will be a useful source of readings and references to professional philosophers and students alike. -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
