Overview

Truth, etc. is a wide-ranging study of ancient logic based on the John Locke lectures given by eminent 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.
