Allan: > I've tried to follow the discussions about logic (ro, import, et al.) and > failed miserably Me too, to some extent. To someone intimidated by the subject I'd suggest any old "logic for dummies" sort of thing. And then James McCawley's _Everything linguists always wanted to know about logic but were ashamed to ask_. Our main gurus are McCawley & Quine -- John is a big Quine fan. (I confess that even tho I'm a big John fan, I haven't yet got round to reading Quine. But I will.) The McCawley book is quite intimidating -- he writes as if he takes it for granted that you the reader are intelligent & quick on the uptake. But Lojbanists tend to be such people -- geeky computery sorts. --And. > > I purchased Quine's "Methods of Logic" last night, but I'm wondering > what the list participants would recommend as a good 1st logic textbook? > I didn't find any immediate references on the wiki about suggested logic > textbooks, hence this post to the list > > ki'e mu'o mi'e > zirbolc (allan) > > > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: > jboske-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com > > > > Your use of Yahoo!
