Regardless of the race of the woman, why is a naked woman on the cover of a logic textbook??
That's one of the first things that came to my mind too. It's not wrong of course. But I find it very odd.

It would seem to be there purely as an eye-catcher. An exploitation of the female form to sell more products, as is common in advertising.

For an academic logic textbook?
I highly doubt that thought crossed his mind. His mind just doesn't think like that. I remember when he asked me what luxury watch he should buy. I told him Rolex. He gave me a long ranty spiel about how it's really a massproduced shit watch. I told him that Rolex impresses ladies more. Is his goal to impress middle-aged bitter old men with their heads up their asses or hot young women. He accepted my logic and bought a Rolex. And ugly limitted edition Rolex with unique features. Yeah... his brain is special.

Shit, maybe I am on the spectrum after all, because from my perspective, buying an ugly overpriced watch you don't like is a bitch move.

Its also a book only bought by students when it's compulsory reading material for the course. It is true that is selected by the lecturers who teach. But I think they're professional enough to focus on the content. But nobody off the street will buy it
I think it's fair to say that the cover is irrelevant. He did say that the cover they have now was just something they did just to have a cover. I strongly suspect it was his wife's idea, and he didn't have any opinion. And that he just went along with it.
Seems like a shrewd choice -- that cover makes it feasible for a student to read a textbook on logic in full public view without being instantly pegged as a royal geek.Regardless of the race of the woman, why is a naked woman on the cover of a logic textbook??

You mean the cover with her was her idea, or the new cover just to have a cover?
Links to the controversy?

It's only within the university. It has not made it's way to media, or the Internet. I brought it up because it's interesting to discuss. Not because of it's news value or impact.
But I'm I'm sure the gender studies department are foaming at the mouth. Granted, only an assumption. They tend to foam easily.

In the OP you said it was coming from some teachers in Sweden, because the book was a standard text in Swedish universities.

Yes. Teachers at the university. It started with one logic teacher (called a lecturer at her position) and then spread to other lecturers. But since the author of the book backed down immediately and gave the protesters what they wanted, it never blew up. But when I posted the OP he hadn't yet responded and there was no way I could know whether it would become a big thing or not.
edit: It could easily have blown up. The social justice warriors are today just a lynchmob constantly looking for new slightly less then perfect woke people that they can rip apart. He could have been the next victim of that mob.

Let's stick with reality, shall we?
