For more than two generations, W. V. Quine has contributed fundamentally to the substance, the pedagogy, and the philosophy of mathematical logic. Selected Logic Papers, long out of print and now reissued with eight additional essays, includes much of the author's important work on mathematical logic and the philosophy of mathematics from the past sixty years.

Industry Reviews

[Quine] is at once the most elegant expounder of systematic logic in the older, pre-Godelian style of Frege and Russell, the most distinguished American recruit to logical empiricism, probably the contemporary American philosopher most admired in the profession, and an original philosophical thinker of the first rank...This is an amazing feat of condensation with something solid to say in its brief scope about every major topic of interest in modern formal logic. New York Review of Books What [Quine] is expert in is, of course, logic...What [this book offers] is a view of the expert at work. Selected Logic Papers shows him actually doing logic...Logic is not a guide to life, but then Quine has never maintained that it was. It is a powerful adjunct to empirical inquiry, whose proper use requires prior discipline; its virtue lies in the fact that if we supply it with truth, it will never yield falsehood. Few have shown the manner of its use with more authority. Partisan Review
