Description

Book Synopsis
The Force of Reason and the Logic of Force investigates the concept of force through various 'episodes' in the history of philosophy. The book looks at figures who reduce force to something other than itself as well as figures who develop a 'logic of force' that allows them to trace the operation of force without such a reduction.
