Jennings, Raymond Earl
The Genealogy of Disjunction
New York: Oxford University Press 1994. Comprehensive scholarly study of the English word or and the logical operators variously proposed to present its meaning. Although there are indisputably disjunctive uses of or in English it is a mistake to suppose that logical disjunction represents its core meaning. Or is descended from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning second a form which survives in such expressions as "every other day." Its disjunctive uses arise through metalinguistic applications of an intermediate adverbial meaning which is conjunctive rather than disjunctive in character. This study examines the textbook myths that have clouded our understanding of how or and other "logical" vocabulary comes to have something approaching its logical meaning in natural languages. It considers the various historical conceptions of disjunction and its place in logic from the Stoics to the present day. 344 pgs. Prior owner's name on front endpaper. Minimal shelfwear.

Korzybski, Alfred
Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics: Fourth Edition
Lakeville Connecticut: International Non-Aristotelian Library 1980. Classic highly acclaimed text presents a detailed and complex compilation of the author's preeminent multidisciplinary work in the field of general semantics including his theory of humankind: mankind as a time-binding class of life. Korzybski's work held a view that human beings are limited in what they know by the structure of their nervous systems and the structure of their languages. Human beings cannot experience the world directly but only through their "abstractions" nonverbal impressions or "gleanings" derived from the nervous system and verbal indicators expressed and derived from language. Sometimes our perceptions and our languages actually mislead us as to the "facts" with which we must deal. Our understanding of what is going on sometimes lacks similarity of structure with what is actually going on. He stressed training in awareness of abstracting using techniques that he had derived from his study of mathematics and science. He called this awareness this goal of his system "consciousness of abstracting." Includes a new preface by Russell Meyers. 806 pgs. Illustrated. Gilt spine. Minimal shelfwear. Fourth Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. . International Non-Aristotelian Library Hardcover

Boston: Little Brown & Company 1896. Translated by Katherine Prescott Wormelye these 40 volumes were published between 1896 - 1899 as The Novelists Library Edition de Luxe in a limited edition of 500 numbered sets. This set is # 29. Illustrated by many different French artists including A.P. Laurens Pierre-Georges Jeanniot Georges Cain and others. All illustrations reproduced in lush tissue-guarded heliogravure plates. All 40 volumes bound in matching three-quarter crushed burgundy levant morocco over moss-green cloth boards with matching green-marbled endpapers sewn-in green velvet textile bookmark top edges gilt. Six raised and finely tooled spine compartments with gilt lettering; in the second compartment WORKS OF BALZAC followed by the individual titles in the third compartment. Spines and leather edges are rubbed and in many of the 40 volumes the front cover has neatly detached from the spine due - I would venture - to excessive dryness. The books show virtually no sign of handling are clean and have no inscriptions or bookplates. Except for the mentioned detached covers this is a Good and complete set. A professional bookbinder would be able to reattach the covers. Scans available upon request. First Thus. Good. Little , Brown & Company hardcover
