More about the book
Exploring the interplay between logic and philosophical thought, this book argues that historical choices and contextual factors significantly shape logical frameworks. It examines crucial decisions in the development of logical concepts such as truth and necessity, suggesting that logic cannot serve as a foundational basis for metaphysics due to the pre-existing assumptions that influence it. This perspective challenges traditional views and engages with contemporary debates in analytical and continental philosophy, particularly in the context of post-Wittgensteinian and post-Heideggerian discussions.
