Not suited for schoolwork

This e-book is focused largely on philosophical issues, though the areas of logic and mathemetics also enter the picture. But the author is not intending to present an expert exposition of the topics discussed. So if you poach from this book to assist your schoolwork, the resulting grade may not be what you would like.

The subjects discussed have a long legacy in the philosophical arena. But I make no claim to be am expert philosopher. My intention is to stimulate the reader to take a deeper look at the underpinnings of the subjects at hand. Perhaps some readers will feel called to further reading and research.

On the other hand, I don't rule out the possibility that a young philosophy scholar might judiciously mine this e-book for leads and references that could assist her or his work.

The essays that comprise this e-books chapters have been previously published on-line. I am hoping to be able to go through them to perform some minor editorial surgery.

I have no connection to the philosopher James Conant of the University of Chicago -- beyond the fact that most Conants in America are related via a founder family.
