Annotation

An attempt to develop a program for a new 'reflectionist' and 'condition-theoretic' logic. ('Condition-theoretic' because of the importance of conditionality notions; 'reflectionist' because of the underlying principle that language reflects both mind and reality.) The dissertation includes a chapter on speech acts.
