This entirely new English translation of Buridan's classic treatment of logical consequence aims to make accessible to the modern reader the foremost treatment of the subject in the middle ages. The translation is accompanied by an introduction in which Buridan's ideas are set in their historical context and clearly explained.

John Buridan, ca. 1300 to after 1358, was a French independent cleric who studied and later taught at the University of Paris.Read Stephen :
