Forms of thought are involved whenever we name, describe, or
identify things, and whenever we distinguish between what is, might
be, or must be the case. It appears to be a distinctive feature of
human thought that we can have modal thoughts, about what might be
possible or necessary, and conditional thoughts, about what would
or might be the case if something else were the case. Even the
simplest thoughts are structured like sentences, containing
referential and predicative elements, and studying these structures
is the main task of philosophical logic. This clear and accessible
book investigates the forms of thought, drawing out and focusing on
the central logical notions of reference, predication, identity,
modality and conditionality. It will be useful to students and
other interested readers in epistemology and metaphysics,
philosophy of mind and language, and philosophical logic.
