You should probably read contemporary philosophy, then! Formal logic is a central tool of most analytic philosophy, to this day. The more logic-oriented side of philosophy typically merges seamlessly into maths.
It's not limited to analytic philosophy, either - continental thinkers like Badiou have sustained engagement with set theory - it's very traditional, actually.

- pasabagi 8y agoWell, it really depends on what you're interested in. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is actually very good, and contains a bibliography at the end of every article. Philosophy is very diverse in terms of subject matter - and my experience is that people are very different in terms of what questions they find engaging. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-paraconsistent/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-paraconsistent/ is interesting, recent work - but another approach would be to start with Russel, then go on from there.
