Cartesian Logic: An Essay on Descartes's Conception of Inference
Gaukroger, Stephen (Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Sydney)
Focusing on the work of Descartes, this study examines how conceptions of inference changed during the 17th century. The author contrasts Descartes' construal of inference as an instantaneous grasp in the natural light of reason, with the Aristotelian view of inference as a discursive process.
