The Logic of LanguageDartmouth College Publications, 1939 - 303 páginas The pages which follow constitute a treatise on the logic of language, and as such, investigate the conditions of successful communication between men. Still, this book is, and was intended to be, not merely a technical work, but one which should be of general use to students and the educated public. It contains logical theory, but with its applications; it conceives of logic, not as is so fashionable with the moderns, as a quasi-mathematical science, but rather as with the ancients, as an organon, an instrument in the service of clear thought. |
