This textbook is intended both as a textbook in symbolic logic for undergraduate and graduate students and as a treatise on the foundations of logic. Much of the material was developed in an undergraduate course given for some years at Yale University. The course was essentially a first course in logic for students interested in science.The early sections of the book present rules for working with implication, conjunction, dis-junction, and negation. Following this, various modal concepts such as necessity, possibility, and strict implication are introduced. The theory of identity and the general theory of classes and relations are presented. The theory of quantifiers is then developed. Finally, operations on classes and relations are defined and discussed. The book provides a novel way for avoiding Russel's paradox and other similar paradoxes. No theory of types is needed. The system of logic employed is shown to be free of contradiction.
