I can't seem to find any good books on metalogic. Any recommendations?
I have some books on the foundations of mathematics, but they all have this annoying feature of presupposing knowledge of the foundations of mathematics. Can you recommend any good book on the topic that doesn't presuppose knowledge of the subject (though I am familiar with first order predicate logic)?

Perhaps what you're seeing is just the inherent human need to rely on so-called "universals."
Not sure what your souces have been thus far. Here's a link to the greatest philisiphical minds to address this topic:

You might have to be the one to write the book. Looks as though you've found a hole in the universe
