"This is a significant and often rather demanding collection of
essays. It is an anthology purring together the uncollected works
of an important twentieth-century philosopher. Many of the articles
treat one or another of the more important issues considered by
analytic philosophers during the last quarter-century. Of
significant importance to philosophers interested in researching
the many topics contained in Logic Matters is the inclusion in this
anthology of a rather extensive eight-page name-topic index."
(Thomist). "The papers are arranged by topic: Historical Essays,
Traditional Logic, Theory of Reference and Syntax, Intentionality,
Quotation and Semantics, Set Theory, Identity Theory, Assertion,
Imperatives and Practical Reasoning, Logic in Metaphysics and
Theology. The broad range of issues that have engaged Geach's
complex and systematic reasoning is impressive. In addition to
classical logic, topics in ethics, ontology, and even the logic of
religious dogmas are tackled ...the work in this collection is more
brilliant and ingenious than it is difficult and demanding."
(Philosophy of Science). "Geach displays his mastery of applying
logical techniques and concepts to philosophical questions.
Compared with most works in philosophical logic this book is
remarkable for its range of topics. Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas,
Russell, Wittgenstein, and Quine all figure prominently. Geach's
style is remarkably lively considering the rightly argued matter.
Although some of the articles treat rather technical questions in
mathematical logic, most are accessible to philosophers with modest
backgrounds in logic." (Choice).
