“John Buridan is one of the greatest of all medieval logicians. His writings display a breadth of understanding and depth of insight that stamp them as contributing at a very high level to the same subject modern logicians work in. This accurate and idiomatic translation is most welcome.” - —Paul Thom, University of Sydney
“Buridan’s Treatise on Consequences is without a doubt one of the most important texts in the Latin medieval tradition in logic. However, until now it was only available in Latin or in an unreliable English translation of the 1980s. For these reasons, the publication of this excellent translation of Buridan’s treatise is a huge contribution to medieval logic scholarship; its importance cannot be over-emphasized.” - —Catarina Dutilh Novaes, University of Groningen
John Buridan’s Treatise on Consequences is, in this respect, a fundamental reference point. It both presents one of the most sophisticated theories about logical consequence
in medieval times and explains all the basic concepts connected with it (truth, supposition, ampliation among others). Buridan’s style is exemplarily clear, and Stephen Read’s accurate translation faithfully reflects it.
