This book brings together a diverse collection of contemporary studies in logic and its philosophical applications, honoring the legacy of SreÄko KovaÄ, a distinguished contemporary Croatian logician and philosopher. The essays reflect a rich interplay between formal logic, metaphilosophy, epistemology, and the history of logic, showcasing the enduring relevance of logical methods in addressing both classical and modern philosophical problems.
The rich content of the book is reflected in the titles of its three parts. Part One: Logic: Systems, Philosophical Applications, and Education, Part Two: Justification and Knowledge, and Part Three: Croatian Philosophical Tradition. These parts also reflect the broad scholarly interests of SreÄko KovaÄ, to whom the collected articles in the volume refer.
