Reviews

This is a wide-ranging and fascinating collection of reflections on the philosophy of logic. It collects the perspectives of a number of interesting and vital thinkers, and it makes clear just how many distinct motivations and methods come together in this discipline. It will make enjoyable reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of logic, or curious about how its practitioners see their subject. It's a cool collection; I had a lot of fun reading it! - Dave Ripley This book allows you to glimpse into the minds of some of the greatest living logicians, looking at what led them to the philosophy of logic, and also at what they think about the status of the discipline, its tasks, and its open problems. Such views are not likely to appear in some peer-reviewed journal in the way they are expressed here. But they are likely to drive the way in which these scholars shape the landscape of the philosophy of logic, now and for years to come. This is a unique and highly recommended source for both students and specialists. - Francesco Berto
