Judgement and the Epistemic Foundation of Logic
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99This compelling reevaluation of the relationship between logic and knowledge affirms the key role that the notion of judgement must play in such a review. The commentary repatriates the concept of judgement in the discussion, banished in recent times by the logical positivism of Wittgenstein, Hilbert and Schlick, and the Platonism of Bolzano. The volume... more...
Around the Tree
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99Over the past few years, the tree model of time has been widely employed to deal with issues concerning the semantics of tensed discourse.
