  • Temporal Modalities in Arabic Logic

    by N. Rescher ...

In the process, a substantially new area of the history of logic has come into a clear view. I am indebted to Anne Cross (Mrs. Michael) Pelon ... Read more

  • Scientific Realism

    A Critical Reappraisal

    by N. Rescher ...

  • Satisfying Reason

    Studies in the Theory of Knowledge

    by N. Rescher ...
    Series Book 21 - Episteme
    Leibniz said with a mixture of admiration and inspiration that the Duchess Sophie of Hannover always wanted to know the reason why behind the reason why. And that is just how rationality works: it wants to leave no loose ends to understanding, seeking to enable us to understand things through to the bitter end.In the twelve chapters that make up Satisfying Reason, Rescher develops and defends the ...

    Edited by J. Peregrin ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    The question how to turn the principles implicitly governing the concept of truth into an explicit definition (or explication) of the concept hence coalesced with the question how to get a finite grip on the infinity of T-sentences.
