SUMMARY
A sophisma is a puzzling sentence designed to bring some abstract issue into sharper focus while accompanied by arguments to resolve the paradox. This is the first printed edition of Richard Kilvington's Sophismata, perhaps one of the earliest works from the group of fourteenth-century philosophers known as the Oxford Calculators. The Sophismata is an ordered collection of philosophical puzzles on such topics as the logic of change, velocity, knowing, and doubting. Kilvington pursues those issues of natural philosophy by exploring the conceptual foundations of mathematics and physics.Kilvington, Richard is the author of 'Sophismata of Richard Kilvington' with ISBN 9780197260869 and ISBN 0197260861.
