Summary
Do you want to get ahead in the world, improve yourself, and be more intelligent than you already are? If so, then meta-logic is what you need.
Meta-logic is a special case of meta-language. A meta-language is a language used to represent and reason about another language, called the object language. If the object language is a form of logic, then the meta-language is also called meta-logic. Therefore, this book is an example of the use of meta-logic to study the object language of Computational Logic.
