To some, these might sound like pious platitudes. They are not. They are the literal truth.

He wrote, revised, and extended it during many years of teaching. I'm sure that the the only reason why no publisher printed it is that they didn't think they could make a profit from it -- and they were probably right. > I also recommend adding to your bibliography..., the following work > on Stoic logic: Benson Mates. Stoic Logic. (U Cal Press, 1953). Thanks for the reference. I haven't read it, but I noticed that Barnes & Noble (bn.com) have a paperback reprint for $16.68. One of the main reasons why I studied ancient & medieval logic is that the logicians, philosophers, and mathematicians who did were far ahead of those who didn't. Peirce, for example, took pride in having the best collection of medieval books and manuscripts on logic in the Boston area (and that includes Harvard). Two others who had a solid background in medieval logic were Bolzano and Brentano. Bolzano made many contributions in mathematics and pioneering work in logic and ontology. Brentano is most famous for his contributions to psychology, but he also had many influential students: Husserl (pioneer in formal ontology); Twardowski (founder of the Polish school of logic, which included Tarski, Lukasiewicz, and many others); Freud (psychoanalysis); and the leaders in Gestalt psychology. More recently, Hilary Putnam would tell his students "Whenever I become clearer about a subject, I find that Aristotle has become clearer too."
