The only complete study is that of Risse, whose account, while historically exhaustive, pays little attention to the actual logical 2 doctrines discussed. Otherwise, one can tum to Vasoli for a study of humanism, to Munoz Delgado for scholastic logic in Spain, and to Gilbert and Randall for scientific method, but this still leaves vast areas untouched. In this book I cannot hope to remedy all the deficiencies of previous studies, for to survey the literature alone would take a life-time. As a result I have limited myself in various ways. In the first place, I con- centrate only on those matters which are of particular interest to me, namely theories of meaning and reference, and formal logic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615463522455,"sku":"9789027704641","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789027704641.webp?v=1775100995","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/language-and-logic-in-the-post-medieval-period-9789027704641","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
