This book deals with a previously neglected episode in the history
of logic and theories of cognition: the way in which conceptions of
inference changed during the 17th century. Gaukroger focuses on the
work of Descartes, contrasting his explanation of inference as an
instantaneous grasp in accord with the natural light of reason with
the Aristotelian view of inference as a discursive process. He
offers a new interpretation of Descartes' contribution to the
question, revealing it to be a significant advance over humanist
and late Scholastic conceptions, and argues that the Cartesian
account played a pivotal role in the development of our
understanding of the nature of inference.
