Robert Kilwardby's Science of Logic A Thirteenth-Century Intensional Logic

Thom interprets Kilwardby's science of logic as a logic of intensions with its own proof theory and semantics. This comprehensive reconstruction of Kilwardby's logic shows the medieval master to be one of the most interesting logicians of the thirteenth century.
