The late Mario Mignucci was one of the most authoritative,
original, and influential scholars in the area of ancient
philosophy, especially ancient logic. Collected here for the first
time are sixteen of his most important essays on Ancient Logic,
Language, and Metaphysics. These essays show a perceptive historian
and a skillful logician philosophically engaged with issues that
are still at the very heart of history and philosophy of logic,
such as the nature of predication, identity, and modality. As well
as essays found in disparate publications, often not easily
available online, the volume includes an article on Plato and the
relatives translated into English for the first time and an
unpublished paper on De interpretatione 7. Mignucci thinks
rigorously and writes clearly. He brings the deep knowledge of a
scholar and the precision of a logician to bear on some of the
trickiest topics in ancient philosophy. This collection deserves
the close attention of anyone concerned with logic, language, and
metaphysics, whether in ancient or contemporary philosophy.
