The first book-length study to address issues in modal logic at the eve of the Renaissance, this monograph provides important new insights into the way the debates on modal logic during the post-medieval period tied in with the so-called Wegestreit, the divide between the via antiqua and via moderna that dominated the discourse on logic during the 15th and early 16th centuries. The focus of the book is on the logic and philosophy of language of John Fabri of Valenciennes (fl. c. 1500), one of the last exponents of the terminist approach to logic that was bitterly criticized by the humanist movement. By means of a careful reconstruction of Fabri’s text, the book argues that Fabri's modal logic ultimately goes back to the work of John Buridan, and represents the same approach to the topic as the modal logics that were developed by adherents of the via moderna in Paris. This has significant implications for the historiography of post-medieval philosophy. Fabri was active in Louvain, which until the late 16th century was the most important intellectual center in the Low Countries. According to a long-standing tradition in the scholarship, Louvain was one of the few bulwarks of via antiqua logic on the map of post-medieval Europe. The book argues that this thesis is at least in part a scholarly fiction, and thus in need of revision. By shedding light on an author whose thought has thus far remained entirely unstudied, it also constitutes a valuable step towards a history of philosophy without any gaps. The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in the history of logic and philosophy, but will also be of interest to intellectual historians, historians of ideas, and to any contemporary modal logician who is interested in the historical roots of their discipline.

Hoe weet je dat de Mount Everest 8848 meter hoog is? Ben je zeker dat Brussel niet de hoofdstad van Frankrijk is? Hoeveel sterren telt het heelal? Waarheid lijkt belangrijker dan ooit. In de hevige debatten over fake news en hoe dat tegen te gaan, zie je dat de vraag naar juiste kennis enorm leeft in de samenleving. Foute meningen leiden immers snel tot foute beslissingen. Waarheid neemt je mee op een speelse, filosofische reis naar de waarheid en benadert het mysterieuze begrip langs allerlei zijwegen. Zo leer je dat er een belangrijk onderscheid is tussen de waarheid met grote W en kleine w, en begin je zelfs te twijfelen aan het feit dat twee plus twee gelijk is aan vier.
