Thinking about logic : an introduction to the philosophy of logic
TL;DR: Think About Logic sets out to rescue logic from its undeserved reputation as an inflexible, dogmatic discipline by demonstrating that its technicalities and processes are founded on assumptions which are themselves amenable to philosophical investigation.

Harmony and Autonomy in Classical Logic
TL;DR: It is argued that Dummett gives a mistaken elaboration of the notion of harmony, an idea stemming from a remark of Gerhard Gentzen, that the introduction-rules are autonomous if they are taken fully to specify the meaning of the logical constants, and the rules are harmonious if the elimination-rule draws its conclusion from just the grounds stated in the introduced-rule.
Journal ArticleDOI
General-Elimination Harmony and the Meaning of the Logical Constants
TL;DR: Ge-harmony ensures that the meaning of a logical expression is clearly visible in its I-rule, and that the I- and E-rules are coherent, in encapsulating the same meaning, but it does not ensure that the resulting logical system is normalizable, nor that it satisfies the conservative extension property,nor that it is consistent.
