| - 'From reviews of the first edition: "an excellent introduction to, and handbook of, medieval logic ... fills a need met by nothing else written to date ... for many it might make medieval logic interesting for the first time as a source of genuine logical insight."
John Longeway, International Studies in Philosophy
' -
- 'Informed, intelligent and clearly written ... The selection of topics is judicious, and the presentation well organized .. In short, if you have been wondering what medieval logic is all about, this is an excellent book to begin with.' - Peter King, Philosophical Review

| Description | Medieval logicians advanced far beyond the logic of Aristotle and the aim of this book is to show how far that advance took them in two central areas. Alexander Broadie focuses upon the work of some of the great figures of the fourteenth century, including Walter Burley, William Ockham, John Buridan, Albert of Saxony, and Paul of Venice, and deals with their theories of truth, conditions and
validity conditions. He reveals how much of what seems characteristically twentieth-century logica was familiar long ago.
Professor Broadie has extensively revised his text for this second edition, while preserving the character of the first. There are now fuller accounts of supposition of intentional contexts, and of medieval syllogistics, and the Conclusion has been substantially
expanded. |
Readership: Central text for students (second-year undergraduate and above) on courses in medieval logic; supplementary text for courses in logic and in medieval philosophy. Also valuable for graduate students and scholars in these subjects.
