"The questions this book deals with deserve close investigation.
The book offers a rare opportunity to think about the limitations
of our standard logic and semantic analysis from an overall
perspective." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews In this
challenging and provocative book, Dale Jacquette argues that
contemporary philosophy labours under a number of historically
inherited delusions about the nature of logic and the philosophical
significance of certain formal properties of specific types of
logical constructions. Exposing some of the key misconceptions
about formal symbolic logic and its relation to thought, language
and the world, Jacquette clears the ground of some very
well-entrenched philosophical doctrines about the nature of logic,
including some of the most fundamental seldom-questioned parts of
elementary propositional and predicate-quantificational logic.
Having presented difficulties for conventional ways of thinking
about truth functionality, the metaphysics of reference and
predication, the role of a concept of truth in a theory of meaning,
among others, Jacquette proceeds to reshape the network of ideas
about traditional logic that philosophy has acquired along with
modern logic itself. In so doing Jacquette is able to offer a new
perspective on a number of existing problems in logic and
philosophy of logic.
