In the first part of the book, M. discusses the relationship between logic and language, through examining the works of Freye, Russel, Wittgenstein and Hintikka on this subject. The second part is concerned with language and context, and the logical approach is embodied in a richer conception of natural language, and issues such as argumentation and rhetorics are analysed. Here, the works of Perelman and Anscombre & Ducrat are discussed. In a third part of the book, then, M. develops his own view of language and rhetoric, labeled `problematology', and discusses the relationship between rhetoric and questioning.
