This book is a consideration of the differences between Aristotelian and symbolic logic (and
the metaphysical assumptions they come packaged with) and the consequences these have for how
we view the world. What Veatch propose is to try to exhibit with respect to several of the key
logical tools and devices - propositions inductive and deductive arguments scientific and
historical explanations definitions etc. - how these several instruments are differently
conceived both as to their natures and their functions in each of these respective logics.
