I am in university. My uni's philosophy department is purged of anything analytic.

For logic,

do at least the readings in bold.

>>8009197

Read textbooks on logic. Sider (2010) is a good one to start with, it's intended as a sort of overview to give philosophical competence. After that more in depth texts on propositional/predicate/modal logic, their proof systems, and their associated meta-logics (there should be sources for these in Sider's text). Then texts explaining variations and extensions -- multi-valued logic, free logic, higher order logic, etc.

Then if you're really hungry, go right back to the sources -- Boole, Russell, Frege, Gödel, Lukasiewicz, Kripke, and so on.

When you get tired of learning the ropes, in between read Scott Soames' 'The Analytic Tradition in Philosophy.' Build up a bibliography of critical papers, learn to cross-reference them. If you're serious, every day it will all get slightly easier.

Then, finally, seek out problems that genuinely interest you and see how the tools you've acquired apply to them by looking at a very specialized area of recent literature.

And finally finally, contribute to that literature. :^)
