(2013) Rethinking logic, Dordrecht, Springer.
While not involving a break with Aristotle as regards the scientific method, the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century gave rise to a considerable debate over the nature of logic. In particular, it led to a quest for a logic of discovery. The most important thinkers of the age took part in such a debate. Some of them considered a logic of discovery to be opposed to Scholastic logic, others to be just an improvement over it.
