This volume gathers ten original essays at the intersection of logic, philosophy of language, and the history of ideas. Engaging with figures such as Rudolf Carnap, Aristotle, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Thomas Aquinas, the chapters examine topics ranging from the logical analysis of language and ancient logical doctrines, to term logic, theological argumentation, and the geometry of opposition. Throughout, the collection foregrounds the enduring role of logical form in shaping philosophical and theological discourse. Spanning topics as diverse as Aristotelian syllogistics, modal semantics, term logic, prophetic discourse, and the philosophy of language, the book offers a rich panorama of contemporary research. It includes both historically grounded studies and novel formal proposals, each engaging with the question of how logical form can structure meaning, inference, and conceptual opposition in diverse contexts. Ideal for scholars and students in philosophy, logic, and related disciplines, this collection invites the reader to rethink the structure of thought. It reflects a vibrant interdisciplinary dialogue, where classical insights and innovative tools converge to reveal the logic of contrast at the heart of human understanding.
