Pursuit of Truth by W. V. Quine is a classic of modern philosophy, the summation of one of the 20th century's greatest philosophers.

Quine's efforts to get beyond the confusion begin by rejecting the very idea of binding tocether word and thing, rejecting the focus on the isolated word.

When Moral Politics was first published two decades ago, it redefined how Americans think and talk about politics through the lens of cognitive political psychology.

This text is unusual in Atkinson's oeuvre, in that it contains no discussion of spiritual or metaphysical topics. In clear, unambiguous language, the author commences with a definition of reasoning and proceeds with an examination of the various forms in which it can be applied. He discusses the steps involved in the formation and testing of hypotheses and concludes with a discussion of common fallacies. Although Atkinson was neither a philosopher nor a scientist, this text is a well-structured and accessible introduction to the application of the principles of logic.
