Lecture on "Modern Logic"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. Henry M. Sheffer '05, Ph.D., will deliver a lecture on "The New Logic and the Old Theory of Knowledge" in Emerson H this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. This will be the first of a series of lectures on a "Programme of Philosophy, Based on Modern Logic," and the whole are intended as an introduction to a course treating the theories of knowledge and of reality as they have been modified by the recent discoveries in logic. The present course will aim to define the nature and presuppositions of the theory of being, based on these discoveries.

These lectures will continue during the half-year, and will be open to all members of the University interested in fundamental problems in philosophy.
