Synopsis
Mason (Cambridge U.) is not concerned about some historical period before systematic thinking, but with the process of solving philosophical problems. He argues that so many choices and too much history takes place in that process before logic kicks in for the earlier stages to be ignored. He demonstrates with cases involving the formation of logical possibility, truth, the explanation of necessity, essentialism, and the location of logic. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
