My impulse when I decided to collect into a single volume the
essays on topics in logical theory and related subjects that I have
written in the last fifteen years was to borrow from the title of a
work by Sextus Empiricus, and call my collection "Against the
Logicians." Although the essays address a variety of problems that
interest me, the thread that runs through them is a scepticism
about how logicians see things. So, the title appealed to me.
However, I had second thoughts and chose instead a title of one of
my own essays, "In Defense of Informal Logic," which emphasizes my
support for other approaches. Although my criticisms of logical
theory are designed to cut deeply, I do not want to be unresponsive
to the needs that it is supposed to satisfy. However, my position
that we have adequate resources for critically analyzing a
particular argument and 00 not need a theory of argumentation, will
not completely satisfy those who think that there is a need for it.
So, I want them to know that I am taking their concerns seriously.
