Logic and Philosophy of Time: Themes from Prior, Volume 1

A.N. Prior (1914-69) in the course of the 1950s and 1960s founded a new and revolutionary paradigm in philosophy and logic. Its most central feature is the preoccupation with time and the development of the logic of time. However, this was inseparably interwoven with fundamental questions about human freedom, ethics, and existence. This remarkable integration of themes also embodies an original and in fact revolutionary conception of logic.

Logic and Philosophy of Time: Further Themes from Prior: Volume 2

This is a second volume of papers discussing the history of Arthur Prior’s life and work and the philosophical themes he introduced or elaborated. Many of them draw inspiration from his rich and varied contributions to logic. The second volume draws on material presented at two conferences: one held in Copenhagen from 22nd-24th November 2017, and a shorter event held at Roskilde University on 2nd March 2018 as part of the Annual Meeting of the Danish Philosophical Society. Both meetings were organized as part of the Danish Research Council (DFF) project The Primacy of Tense: A. N: Prior Now and Then.

Three Little Essays: Arthur Prior in 1931. Logic and Philosophy of Time: Volume 3.

As Arthur Prior was completing his studies at Wairarapa High School, he wrote three essays on science, literature and religion respectively. The essays were all written during September and October 1931, when Prior was just 16 years old. This volume contains all three essays, along with four chapters analysing and discussing Prior’s texts.
