{"product_id":"9783868381306","title":"Art of Philosophy: A Selection of Jerzy Perzanowski's Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eJerzy Perzanowski’s ideas were based on an original blend of logic and ontology in what he called onto\/logic, where the slash is meant to suggest a quotient of ontology by logic. Perzanowski began as a logician, his early works being on modal logic, then gradually shifted his interest to \"logical philosophy,\" meaning not so much philosophy of logic as philosophy informed by logic. Perzanowski was a rare breed of analytical philosopher who thought that a philosophical \"theory of everything\" was worthwhile. In this systematic spirit, he began with method. He presented his \"method of total analysis and synthesis\" quite simply: reduce the object of research to its simplest possible constituents, and then combine them in some way. Better still, combine them in every possible way, thereby producing a space of possibilities analogous to (and in certain cases identical with) the logical space. Thus, analysis and synthesis differ from a trivial disassembly and reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ontos Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49789383311600,"sku":"9783868381306","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783868381306","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
