The A to Z of Logic introduces the central concepts of the field in a series of brief, non-technical, cross-referenced dictionary entries. The 352 alphabetically arranged entries give a clear, basic introduction to a very broad range of logical topics. Entries can be found on deductive systems, such as propositional logic, modal logic, deontic logic, temporal logic, set theory,...(展开全部)

This new translation of The Science of Logic (also known as ‘Greater Logic') includes the revised Book I (1832), Book II (1813), and Book III (1816). Recent research has given us a detailed picture of the process that led Hegel to his final conception of the System and of the place of the Logic within it. We now understand how and why Hegel distanced himself from Schelling, how...(展开全部)

Logic deals with the inevitable - those consequences which follow inescapably from a given set of premisses. This fact has caused it to be seen as different from other more self-questioning branches of philosophy. In this book, Stephen Read sets out to rescue logic from its undeserved reputation as an inflexible, dogmatic discipline by demonstrating that its technicalities and ...(展开全部)

“The most remarkable history of biology that has ever been written.”―Michel Foucault Nobel Prize–winning scientist François Jacob’s The Logic of Life is a landmark book in the history of biology and science. Focusing on heredity, which Jacob considers the fundamental feature of living things, he shows how, since the sixteenth century, the scientific understanding of inherited t...(展开全部)

这是一本关于生物学——特别是遗传学——的历史回顾。在书中，弗朗索瓦·雅各布重新考察了生命、时间、偶然、个体这些观念——从宏观到微观再到分子的尺度。 很久以来，人类一直依据外形对生物进行分类。十八世纪之后，人们将目光转向细胞，在细胞内寻找“隐藏的生命建筑”，直到十九世纪发现了基因，二十世纪解析了DNA的双螺旋结构，开启了分子生物学时代。在《生命的逻辑》一书中，雅各布清晰地展示了每一次大规模的认知转变都是一次智识革命，彻底改变了人类对自身在宇宙中置身何处的理解。 本书以遗传学的发展为例，诠释了关于生物系统的普适理论形成的历程，描绘了科学发展的内在逻辑，论述了知识储备、技术条件与想像力如何为科学突破做好了铺垫。 最后，雅各布探讨了我们这个时代仍在面对的若干基本问题：基因在何种程度上塑造了人类的行为？环境与人类的发育是什么关系？人类现在可以决定自己的演化了吗...(展开全部)

Written by and for designers, this dictionary of modern design is an important contribution to the field. Just a few reference works that take a comprehensive look at the development of modern design have been published, and among these the two that stand out most notably are The Design Encyclopedia, by New York's Museum of Modern Art (2004), and Design of the Twentieth Century...(展开全部)

Now in it's fourth edition, this classic work on logic presents the student with a clear, concise introduction to the subject of logic and its apllications. The first part of the book introduces the concepts and principles which make up the elements of logic, demonstrating that the concepts of logic are found in all branches of mathematics, and that logical laws are constantly ...(展开全部)
