P.F. Strawson has supplied a new introduction for this reissue of
his modern classic originally published in 1974. Subject and
Predicate in Logic and Grammar explores two conceptions of subject
and predicate, one of which lies at the core of standard logic and
the other more closely relates to surface forms of natural
language. Strawson renders these two conceptions, and their
divergences, intelligible by relating them both to the 'basic case'
in which the subject-term designates a substantial spatio-temporal
individual. Through his treatment of these conceptions, Strawson
added to our understanding of both logic and general grammar,
helping us trace formal characteristics of logic and its grammar to
their roots in general features of thought and experience, and
observing how the grammatical structure of a large group of
non-formalized languages naturally develops in various ways, along
other lines. This book, based originally on seminar material used
at Oxford and Princeton and a series of lectures delivered at
Irvine and University College London, has become an enduring
landmark in the literature of logic and the philosophy of language.
