LOGIC IN THE 21ST CENTURY: ADVICE FOR YOUNG LOGICIANS John Corcoran By logic I mean the subject Aristotle started in Prior Analytics. Logic studies demonstration and everything necessary for demonstration, and also many things that come to mind in the course of such studies—including axiomatic method as described in my short “Axiomatic method”. By young I mean less than about 40 years old. By logicians I mean people who have dedicated their lives to advancing and criticizing logic: to discovering and establishing new additions and also to clarifying and correcting what has or had been accepted. More specifically, my advice is for people who have already embarked on their careers: from fresh PhDs, instructors, and assistant professors to young professors looking forward to reaping the fruits of their long years of study and research. My advice is for people who have mastered logic and who want to improve their mastery. I would write something very different for students, something along the lines of my “Logic teaching in the 21st century”.

Discovering Philosophy aims to provide students with an easy-to-read book. T. I. White wanted to organize his book in terms of content and formatted it accordingly. Given that the purpose of the book is mostly targeting students who are being introduced to philosophy for the first time, the study might be lacking depth throughout the text when dealing with philosophical issues. However, despite the diversity of chapters and abundancy of philosophical areas, the author dealt with each chapter sufficiently. Considering the work as a whole, it is likely to say that the text is compatible with the author’s purpose.
