Practical Reason: Philosophical Papers, Volume I

by Georg Henrik von Wright

In this volume, Professor Von Wright explores a philosophical area that he has made peculiarly his own: deontic logic, the name he coined in 1951 for the logical study of action, normative concepts, and discourse. The present collection is in large part devoted to an important new essay entitled ?Norms, Truth, and Logic,? in which the author presents what he hopes will be his final thoughts on the controversies surrounding the subject.
