Contents
Some parts of the book have been built on already published material. The chapters addressing the criteria of logical analysis and the reflective equilibrium have incorporated parts of our papers Criteria for logical formalization ( Synthese 190, 2013, 28972924) and Logical formalization and the formation of logic(s) ( Logique et Analyse 233, 2016, 5580), while partly overlaps with our paper Logically incorrect arguments ( Argumentation 30, 2016, 263287). Some of the arguments and examples presented here appeared in the Czech book Od jazyka k logice ( From language to logic ), which was published by Academia, Praha, 2009. We are grateful to Pavel Arazim, Georg Brun, Matej Drobk, Ulf Hlobil, Ansten Klev, Radek Ocelk, Vt Punoch, and Hans Rott for valuable critical comments to previous versions of the books manuscript. Greg Evans did, in our view, a great job proofreading the book as well as minimizing appearances of Czechisms. We are also grateful to the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences which provided excellent conditions for our research during the period when we worked on this book. The preparation of the book was supported by the research grant No. 13-21076S of the Czech Science Foundation.
