Description
Tichy was an original and gifted logician and philosopher of language. He developed what he called Transparent Intensional Logic, a semantic theory within which to analyse both natural and artificial languages. This theory is devoted to the central problem of saying exactly what it is that we learn, know and can communicate when we come to understand what a sentence means. The theory remains one of the most inspiring and controversial doctrines of contemporary philosophical logic, attracting passionate defenders and equally fierce opponents. More than forty papers are collected together in this book to trace the development of Tichy?s ideas. They include his earliest papers (hitherto available only in Czech), the papers that informed his important 1998 mono-graph The Foundations of Frege's Logic, through to the mature doctrines that he was still elaborating at his untimely death in 1994. Also included are several acclaimed polemical pieces in which Tichy criticised the leading, and he thought mistaken, ideas of influential contemporary thinkers.
