In the first two chapters, Johnson and Blair survey developments in infonnallogic. These papers, prepared for the First (1978) and Third (1989) International Symposiums on Infonnal Logic, are useful not only for their descriptions of texts, monographs and articles, but also for their articulation ofthe key questions ofthe field. Way back in 1978, Blair and Johnson produced an amazingly prescient list of 13 key problem areas: theory oflogical criticism, theory of argument, fallacy theory, fallacy vs. critical thinking approach, inductive/deductive distinction, ethics of argumentation and logical criticism, assumptions and missing premises, context, methods of extracting argumentation, methods of displaying arguments, pedagogy, nature and scope of infonnallogic, relationship ofinfonnallogic to other inquiries (27 -29) [such numbers will refer to pages in the book under review]. Every one ofthese problem areas has been the subject of discussion in the subsequent infonnallogic literature, and hardly anything else has been. From the very beginning, they understood what this field was about. For me, rereading these two chapters was a nostalgic trip. The first chapter in particular took me back to that exciting gathering in 1978 when philosophers gathered for the first time under the label "infonnallogic". There was a wonderful sense of something new beginning, and an unusually strong spirit of cooperation, which has continued since.
