Central topics in medieval logic are here treated in a way that is
congenial to the modern reader, without compromising historical
reliability. The achievements of medieval logic are made available
to a wider philosophical public then the medievalists themselves.
The three genres of logica moderna arising in a later Middle Ages
are covered: obligations, insolubles and consequences - the first
time these have been treated in such a unified way. The articles on
obligations look at the role of logical consistence in medieval
disputation techniques. Those on insolubles concentrate on medieval
solutions to the Liar Paradox. There is also a systematic account
of how medieval authors described the logical content of an
inference, and how they thought that the validity of an inference
could be guaranteed.
