Necessity Lost: Modality and Logic in Early Analytic Philosophy, Volume 1
Shieh, Sanford (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, Wesleyan University)
Philosophers since Aristotle have traditionally held that impossibilities make up the nature of logic. Sanford Shieh investigates an important but underexplored break with this tradition: Frege and Russell questioned whether there really are such things as possibilities or necessities, and sought the foundations of logic elsewhere.
