Book review of: W. Van O. Quine, The significance of the new logic (Q2306337)

Summary: In this review, I will discuss the historical importance of [O sentido da nova lógica (Portuguese). 2nd ed. Curitiba: Editora da Universidade Federal do Paraná (1996; Zbl 0910.03001)] by \textit{W. Van O. Quine}. This is a translation of the original ``O Sentido da Nova Lógica'' in Portuguese by Carnielli, Janssen-Lauret, and Pickering. The American philosopher wrote this book in the beginning of the 1940s, before a major shift in his philosophy. Thus, I will argue that the reader must see this book as an introduction to an important period in his thinking. I will provide a brief summary of the chapters, remarking on valuable features in each of them and positions Quine abandoned in his later work.
