Truth, etc. is a wide-ranging study of ancient logic based upon the
John Locke lectures given by the eminent philosopher Jonathan
Barnes in Oxford. Its six chapters discuss, first, certain ancient
ideas about truth; secondly, the Aristotelian conception of
predication; thirdly, various ideas about connectors which were
developed by the ancient logicians and grammarians; fourthly, the
notion of logical form, insofar as it may be discovered in the
ancient texts; fifthly, the question of the 'justification of
deduction'; and sixthly, the attitude which has been called logical
utilitarianism and which restricts the scope of logic to those
forms of inference which are or might be useful for scientific
proofs. In principle, the book presupposes no knowledge of logic
and no skill in ancient languages: all ancient texts are cited in
English translation; and logical symbols and logical jargon are
avoided so far as possible. There is no scholarly apparatus of
footnotes, and no bibliography. It can be read in an armchair.
Anyone interested in ancient philosophy, or in logic and its
history, will find it interesting.
