Truth, Etc.: Six Lectures on Ancient Logic

'Truth, etc.' is a study of ancient logic based upon the John Locke lectures given by the philosopher Jonathan Barnes in Oxford. The book presupposes no knowledge of logic and no skill in ancient languages; all ancient texts are cited in English translation; and logical symbols and logical jargon are avoided so far as possible.
