Introduction
12.1.1
[Chapter Preview: Semantics, Tableaux...]
Priest explains that in this chapter, our first tasks are to examine the semantics and the tableaux for classical first-order logic, which here will not involve function symbols. Also, while we will begin without dealing with identity, we later will add it (263).
12.1.2
[Chapter Preview: Problems]
After that, we discuss philosophical problems involved in this systematization (263).
12.1.3
[Chapter Preview: Technical Matters]
And lastly we examine certain technical issues involved in first-order logic (263).
