Taylor|If you are a practicing mathematician who is very comfortable with using first order predicate logic, if you're interested in modal logic and want go beyond just the propositional modal calculus, then this is the book for you.
It proceeds at a good pace. It's balance between rigor||"This Text is an excellent and most useful volume. It is pitched correctly: the exercises are just right... It sets a high standard for anything following. It is to be highly recommended." |(Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, 8:3)
This is a thorough treatment of first-order modal logic. The book covers such issues as quantification, equality (including a treatment of Frege's morning star/evening star puzzle), the notion of existence, non-rigid constants and function symbols, predicate abstraction, the distinction between nonexistence and nondesignation, and definite descriptions, borrowing from both Fregean and Russellian paradigms.
