Customer Reviews

An excellent introduction to the history of reasoning...

Glymour sets out to provide a one-volume reference to the history of attempts at formal reasoning, starting with the preSocratics and ending with recent topics in Cognitive Science. The book is thoroughly readable, covers all of the bases, and has superb (and very challenging) study questions assigned to each subsection of the text. The reference lists are good, and the illustrations are simple and make their point well. A good, but very challenging, book.
