ShowTruthTable[logicF_] :=
  Module[{TT = Outer[logicF, {False, True}, {False, True}]},
    TT = Map[ToString, TT, {2}];
    GridBox[{{ToString@logicF, "False", "True"}, {"False"}~Join~
            TT[[1]], {"True"}~Join~TT[[2]]},
        ColumnLines -> {True, False},
        RowLines -> {True, False}] // DisplayForm]

The argument is the logical function you want to study. If you don't want to
create a table, but just want the truth table in matrix form, just use the
Outer[...] expression.
