Abstract

In doing analytic philosophy of medicine, we shall need some acquaintance with logic. However, like many other terms in our natural languages, the terms "logic" and "logical" are ambiguous. We will therefore provide a brief introduction to the meaning of these notions in what follows. Unless stated otherwise, the term "logic" will refer to deductive logic, the precise meaning of which is discussed below.
