Book details
"Buridan's Treatise on Consequences is without a doubt one of the most important texts in the Latin medieval tradition in logic. However, until now it was only available in Latin or in an unreliable English translation of the 1980s. For these reasons, the publication of this excellent translation of Buridan's treatise is a huge contribution to medieval logic scholarship; its importance cannot be over-emphasized."-Catarina Dutilh Novaes, University of Groningen "John Buridan is recognised as one of the very greatest if not the greatest of all medieval logicians. His writings display a breadth of understanding and a depth of insight that immediately stamp them as contributing at a very high level to the same subject that modern logicians work in. This new translation is both accurate and idiomatic. It is most welcome."-Paul Thom, University of Sydney
