The problematic relation between logic and knowledge has given rise
to some of the most important works in the history of philosophy,
from Books VI-VII of Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Prior and
Posterior Analytics, to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and Mill's A
System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive. It provides the title
of an important collection of papers by Bertrand Russell (Logic and
Knowledge. Essays, 1901-1950). However, it has remained an
underdeveloped theme in the last century, because logic has been
treated as separate from knowledge.This book does not hope to make
up for a century-long absence of discussion. Rather, its ambition
is to call attention to the theme and stimulating renewed
reflection upon it. The book collects essays of leading figures in
the field and it addresses the theme as a topic of current debate,
or as a historical case study, or when appropriate as both. Each
essay is followed by the comments of a younger discussant, in an
attempt to transform what might otherwise appear as a monologue
into an ongoing dialogue; each section begins with an historical
essay and ends with an essay by one of the editors.
