The tools of non-classical logic at Routley’s disposal enabled him to update Meinong’s project for a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume begins with an Introduction from Dominic Hyde, “The ‘Jungle Book’ in Context,” an essay that situates \u003ci\u003eExploring Meinong’s Jungle and Beyond \u003c\/i\u003ehistorically. We provide the original Preface by Routley, followed by Chapter 1: “\u003ci\u003eExploring Meinong’s Jungle and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e.” In Chapter 2, Nicholas Griffin argues that Sylvan’s project was insufficiently radical with his essay, “Why the Original Theory of Items Didn’t (Quite) Go Far Enough.” Sylvan revisits his position from this time in Chapter 3, with his article, “Re-Exploring Item-Theory.” Filippo Casati, who has worked in the Routley Archives then takes up the question of the future of Sylvan’s research program in his essay, “The Future Perfect of \u003ci\u003eExploring Meinong’s Jungle\u003c\/i\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIconic and iconoclastic Australian philosopher Richard Routley (né Sylvan) published \u003ci\u003eExploring Meinong’s Jungle and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e in 1980. This work has fallen out of print, yet without great fanfare it has influenced two generations of philosophers and logicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019-03-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783319787916\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 620\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416694415500,"sku":"9783319787916","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319787916_aef9fa7b-a010-475a-8793-0a1d5e75790e.jpg?v=1768918340","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319787916","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
