It explains the importance of logic to philosophy without identifying logic as a technical theory in itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Huber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 6.03w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197838891","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45246677319817,"sku":"9780197838891","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e68c41c1-a82e-4826-868d-03fcd3336216.jpg?v=1770701993","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/causality-counterfactuals-and-belief-more-means-end-philosophy-9780197838891","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
