Reviews

"Here is a first-class collection of articles by a first-class collection of authors. It covers the full range of philosophical logic from its history through its philosophy to its applications, with a lot of good, solid logic all along the way. Of particular value is the way it presents multiple voices on common topics. This is the way philosophy should be done."
-Lou Goble, Willamette University
