The need for such a logic became apparent when the study of natural languages was undertaken by linguists and logicians.
This is what inductive logicians would call all strategies for enhancing analogical reasoning.
Such questions cannot be settled by the logicians' insistence on realism and/or intentionality.
The logician's disciplined insistence on a well-specified ontology mapped explicitly onto elements of the logical notation is exemplary.
The way this is achieved is through the use of an argument known to logicians as a fallacy of equivocation.
The collaboration of logicians and computer scientists has been fruitful and many works and results have ensued.
So logicians have developed special notations for describing thought (not that they have always admitted or been aware that that is what they were doing).
Although formal in style, the book is by no means written for logicians only.
