Description
Book SynopsisIn Medieval Supposition Theory Revisited papers are presented which, on the basis of L.M. de Rijk’s monumental Logica modernorum (1962-1967, 3 vols.), sketch the development of medieval theories on meaning and reference from the beginnings well into the 17th century. The book also presents studies of these theories from a modern point of view.
