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.



Do you have any specific recommendations of books? Thanks!


Well, 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/ is interesting, recent work - but another approach would be to start with Russel, then go on from there.
