Description:
Post-Fregean logicians tend to ignore the traditional logic of Aristotle and the Scholastics, while in recent years, following the lead of Fred Sommers, the viability of a renewed logic of terms has been shown. This new term logic surpasses today's standard logic in simplicity and naturalness. The book (including two chapters by Sommers) exhibits how such a logic can shed light on a variety of challenges that face any system of formal logic.
