"An advanced-level logic textbook that presents proof construction on equal footing with model building. Potentially relevant to students of mathematics and computer science as well"--

Consequence is at the heart of logic. This book provides an account of consequence, and offers a tool in the evaluation of arguments. It presents and defends logical pluralism, the view that there is more than one genuine deductive consequence relation, a position which has profound implications for many linguists as well as for philosophers.

An introduction to an important group of logics that have come to be known under the umbrella term susbstructural. Substructural logics have independently led to significant developments in philosophy, computing and linguistics.

The methods of logic are essential to an understanding of philosophy and are crucial in the study of mathematics, computing, linguistics and many other subjects. Introducing the major concepts and techniques involved in the study of logic, this book explores formal and philosophical logic, and is for students taking introductory courses in logic.
