Heart Lines is a love story. It is a story about wanting love, losing love, forgetting what love feels like, and rediscovering love and all the lessons it has to teach us along the way. It is a drama, a comedy, and a mystery. It's mostly a non-fiction collection, but there's a bit of fantasy included, as well. At times it's a scary story, for who among us hasn't been scared by falling in or out of love? Above all, however, Heart Lines is a story of hope, and how important it is to never let the inner light of hope flicker out within your heart. Booknews Eight essays, previously or concurrently published elsewhere, illustrate the development of Hintikka's thinking on the fundamental contrast between language as a universal medium and language as calculus. Among the titles are Contemporary Philosophy and the Problem of Truth, On the Development of the Model-Theoretic Viewpoint in Logical Theory, Wittgenstein and Language as the Universal Medium, The Place of C. S. Peirce in the History of Logical Theory, and Quine as a Member of the Tradition of the Universality of Language. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
