Papers in Logic and Ethics
“At the time of his death Arthur Prior was intending to publish a collection of essays as a sequel to Papers on Time and Tense. P. T. Geach and A. J. P. Kenny have collected from among his published and unpublished works a score of papers which are worth preserving. Topics covered include existence and non-existence, possibility and necessity, self-reference and self-perception, the nature of inference and of intentionality, and the autonomy of ethics. All the essays display Prior’s unique gift for the application of modern logical insights and techniques to traditional ethical and metaphysical problems. The collection includes five hitherto unpublished papers: ‘On some Proofs of the Existence of God’, ‘It Was to Be’, ‘What is Logic?’, ‘What do General Statements Refer to?’, ‘Things and Stuff’. A complete bibliography of Prior’s philosophical writings, compiled by Olav Flo, has been added as an appendix.’ “- Publisher
