This book is both dif?cult and rewarding, affording a new
perspective on logic and reality, basically seen in terms of change
and stability, being and becoming. Most importantly it exemplifies
a mode of doing philosophy of science that seems a welcome
departure from the traditional focus on purely analytic arguments.
The author approaches ontology, metaphysics, and logic as having
offered a number of ways of constructing the description of
reality, and aims at deepening their relationships in a new way.
Going beyond the mere abstract and formal aspects of logical
analysis, he offers a new architecture of logic that sees it as
applied not only to the "reasoning processes" belonging to the
first disciplinary group - ontology - but also directly concerned
with en- ties, events, and phenomena studied by the second one -
metaphysics. It is the task of the book to elaborate such a
constructive logic, both by offering a lo- cal view of the
structure of the reality in general and by proffering a wealth of
models able to encompass its implications for science. In turning
from the merely formal to the constructive account of logic Brenner
overcomes the limitation of logic to linguistic concepts so that it
can be not only a logic "of" reality but also "in" that reality
which is constitutively characterized by a number of fundamental
dualities (observer and observed, self and not-self, internal and
external, etc.
