Beyond the Limits of Thought

This is a philosophical investigation of the nature of the limits of thought. Drawing on recent developments in the field of logic, Graham Priest argues that such limits do indeed exist, and are, by their nature, contradictory. He develops his argument through an analysis of the way in which such limits have appeared in the work of major Western philosophers, ranging from Aristotle to Derrida. This is an original and lucid approach to the subject, which will be of particular interest to logicians and philosophers of language or metaphysics.Priest, Graham is the author of 'Beyond the Limits of Thought', published 1995 under ISBN 9780521454209 and ISBN 0521454204.
