Hardcover, x + 227 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed in the Netherlands (not an Indian/economy edition). A gentle corner crease on first pages, else very good. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Clean, untorn dust jacket. -- The papers in this collection are united by an approach to philosophy. They illustrate the manifold contributions that logic makes to philosophical progress, both by the application of formal methods to traditional philosophical problems and by opening up new avenues of inquiry as philosophers sort out the implications of new and often surprising technical results. Contributions include new technical results rich with philosophical significance for contemporary metaphysics, attempts to diagnose the philosophical significance of some recent technical results, philosophically motivated proposals for new approaches to negation, investigations in the history and philosophy of logic, and contributions to epistemology and philosophy of science that make essential use of logical techniques and results. Where the work is formal, the motives are obviously philosophical, not merely mathematical. Where the work is less formal, it is deeply informed by the relevant formal material. The volume includes contributions from some of the most interesting philosophers now working in philosophical logic, philosophy of logic, epistemology and metaphysics. -- Contents: Introduction; 1. Externalism, Anti-Realism and the KK Thesis / Stewart Shapiro; 2. Choice Principles in Intuitionistic Set Theory / John L. Bell; 3. Assertion, Proof and the Axiom of Choice / David DeVidi; 4. Montague's Modal Completeness Theorem of 1955 / B. Jack Copeland; 5. On the Rational Reconstruction of our Theoretical Knowledge / William Demopoulos; 6.
