About the book >.>.> At the time of his death Arthur Prior was intending to publish a collection of essays as a sequel to Papers on Time and Tense. P. T. Geach and A. J. P. Kenny have collected from among his published and unpublished works a score of papers which are worth preserving. Topics covered include existence and non- existence, possibility and necessity, self-reference and self-perception, the nature of inference and of intentionality, and the autonomy of ethics. All the essays display Prior's unique gift for the applica- tion of modern logical insights and techniques to traditional ethical and metaphysical problems. The collection includes five hitherto unpublished papers: 'On some Proofs of the Existence of God', 'It Was to Be', 'What is Logic?', 'What do General Statements Refer to ?', 'Things and Stuff'. A complete biblio- graphy of Prior's philosophical writings, compiled by Olav Flo, has been added as an appendix. (LL).
