Latest Update. Added revised references for JC Beall, Haack, Hunter & Shapiro. Elimianted Graph Theory and Statistics sections due to lack of suggested readings. Added PhilPapers as a web resource.

Kant's logic, as far as I know, was pretty much the standard scholastic-aristotelian logic of the time. The list presented here is "biased" towards classical logic. I say "biased" because one can, nonetheless, get all the aristotelian logic syllogistic structure as a subset of the more powerful system of classical logic. I'm also not adding Hegel because when he talked about "logic", he had in mind something quite different from what we now think of as logic. Now, logic is considered a formal study of certain properties and relationships that hold for certain structures (propositions, monadic predicates, dyadic predicates, etc.). Hegel had in mind a different, metaphysical notion of "logic" in mind that hardly had anything to do with our standard usage. That's why I haven't also added Dewey's book on logic, since for him logic is to be understood as a theory of enquiry, a subject more proper to the philosophers of science. I will revise Ramsey, and Hunter has been added. I was about to add a Decision Theory section, but I'm not sure if it's a proper subject for this forum.
"Neither Aristotelian nor Russellian rules give the exact logic of any expression of ordinary language; for ordinary language has no exact logic." P.F. Strawson
