Foundations of Mathematics Book Search

In summary, the conversation was about finding a book on the foundations of mathematics, specifically set theory and mathematical logic. The speaker suggests Kenneth Kunen's "Foundations of Mathematics" and "Set Theory, revised edition" as good introductory books, as they are more approachable than Paul Cohen's book.

I am looking for a book concerning the foundations of mathematics. I am not talking about algebra or calculus but the foundation of the mathematical language( Axioms, sentential logic...). I hope you have understood the prior rubish. Thanks for any help.

I think Cohen's book is very concise and difficult to read without any prior knowledge in the logic and set theory. Kenneth Kunen's "Foundations of Mathematics" and "Set Theory, revised edition" will suit the OP really well as a first introduction to the foundations.
