Reflections on logic and thinking

Springer Undergraduate Texts in Philosophy Harrie de Swart Philosophical and Mathematical Logic Springer Undergraduate Texts in Philosophy The Springer Undergraduate Texts in Philosophy offers a series of self-contained textbooks aimed towards the undergraduate level that covers all areas of philosophy ranging from classical philosophy to contemporary topics in the ﬁeld. The texts will include teaching aids (such as exercises and summaries) and will be aimed mainly towards more advanced undergraduate students of philosophy. The series publishes: • All of the philosophical traditions • Introduction books with a focus on including introduction books for speciﬁc topics such as logic, epistemology, German philosophy etc. • Interdisciplinary introductions – where philosophy overlaps with other scientiﬁcor practical areas This series covers textbooks for all undergraduate levels in philosophy particularly those interested in introductions to speciﬁc philosophy topics. We aim to make a ﬁrst decision within 1 month of submission. In case of a positive ﬁrst decision the work will be provisionally contracted: the ﬁnal decision about publication will depend upon the result of the anonymous peer review of the complete manuscript. We aim to have the complete work peer-reviewed within 3 months of submission. Proposals should include: • A short synopsis of the work or the introduction chapter • The proposed Table of Contents • CV of the lead author(s) • List of courses for possible course adoption The series discourages the submission of manuscripts that are below 65,000 words in length.
