Description
For the last 25 years, since publication of his Logical Studies, Professor Von Wright has steadily explored the field of philosophical logic. The concept of negation, logical paradoxes, the puzzles connected with evidence and probability in confirmation theory, the interrelatedness of the ideas of time and change, and the clarification of the structure of temporal and spatial orderings are among the many areas he has profitably investigated.
Reviews / Votes
The book offers clear, accessible samples of a significant body of work standing somewhat outside of what many would call the mainstream of philosophical logic. * Philosophical Review *More details
