Sobre este artículo
New York: Henry Holt and Company, Inc.,, 1959. Second edition, revised; the author's own copy, with his ownership signature to front free endpaper, likely specially bound for him by the publisher, and originating from a number of Quine family books recently dispersed on the market. First published in 1950, Quine's Methods of Logic served as the essential textbook for students of logic for decades, presupposing no prior knowledge. "Methods of Logic is like no other text in the subject. First of all, it is very appropriately titled. It serves up a veritable feast of methods, thoughtfully prepared for application and well garnished with their rationales. The book encompasses all that Quine sees as falling within logic's realm, and indeed somewhat more. Methods builds on no abstract system with formal rules. In it Quine gives us machinery ready to use and not bogged down in technicalities that serve no practical purpose. Still the book is crisp, precise, and painstaking, imparting regard for rigorous thinking at every turn" (Cambridge Companion to Quine, p. 277). Octavo (204 x 136 mm). Contemporary red half morocco, spine lettered in gilt, red cloth sides, pink paper endpapers, top edge gilt. Joints rubbed but holding firm, tips a little worn. A good copy.
