Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Paul Thom?s book presents Kilwardby?s science of logic as a body of demonstrative knowledge about inferences and their validity, about the semantics of non-modal and modal propositions, and about the logic of genus and species. This science is thoroughly intensional. It grounds the logic of inference on that in virtue of which the inference holds. It bases the truth conditions of propositions on relations between conceptual entities. It explains the logic of genus and species through the notion of essence.
Thom interprets this science as a formal logic of intensions with its own proof theory and semantics. This comprehensive reconstruction of Kilwardby?s logic shows the medieval master to be one of the most interesting logicians of the thirteenth century.
"Robert Kilwardby (d. 1279) was almost always of interest to medieval philosophers. This interest, however, has seldom been replicated by modern editorial initiatives, leaving our appreciation of the Oxford master?s intellectual profile incomplete, and perhaps uneven. We are aware of the different contributions that Kilwardby made to metaphysics and to the natural
philosophy of his time, and we know that he was a dedicated and influential logician. We may even claim that Kilwardby was a fortunate logician, for he was one of the first scholars in the Latin West to read and to comment on the newly discovered books of Aristotle?s logic. This feature is greatly stressed in Paul Thom?s second book devoted exclusively to Kilwardby?s "science of logic", as described in the title.[...] Thom?s volume
already stands as a great and inspiring work for the almost timeless interpretative potential
he fairly attributes to Robert Kilwardby?s logic." Edit Anna Lukacs, in Speculum 96/1 , (January 2021).
