2017: FUP IS DOC!

A very good year for Firenze University Press Open Access Journals

It has been a very successful year for FUP Journals, with several remarkable achievements that enhanced their standing and their capacity to communicate knowledge and ideas to researchers throughout the world.
The recent recognition of the high scientific profile of Aestimum and Aisthesis resulted in their inclusion in Scopus: an extraordinary step forward! This important milestone ensures that articles published in those journals are easily found when searching for land economics and aesthetics literature and enables authors to keep track of how often their articles have been cited by others.

Dialogare: compendio di logica

Bruni, Riccardo

“Logic”, as understood in this volume, is the set of knowledge at the basis of man’s reasoning faculties: understanding, analysing, arguing. The text presents a review of topics which are useful to strengthen the skills related to reasoning faculties through a brief introduction to the theoretical aspects and exercises intended to assess the understanding. The volume is divided into parts, which are organised in teaching units. The parts and units are presented in such a way that, following the thread in the order in which they are proposed, we move from one topic to the next, acquiring the prerequisites necessary for to what comes after. The text therefore lends itself to a “systematic” use, aimed at an extensive study. However, nothing prevents the reader from adapting the material to other needs, choosing only a few topics that they consider useful to integrate their knowledge, to do a “review” or to further practice on already known topics.

La ‘logica’ com’è intesa in questo volume è l’insieme di conoscenze alla base delle facoltà raziocinanti dell’uomo: comprendere, analizzare, argomentare. Il testo presenta una rassegna di argomenti utili per rafforzare le competenze a esse connesse attraverso una breve introduzione agli aspetti teorici ed esercizi dedicati alla verifica della comprensione. Il volume è suddiviso in parti organizzate in unità didattiche. Le parti e le unità sono presentate in modo tale che, seguendone il filo nell’ordine nel quale sono proposte, si passi da un argomento al successivo acquisendo di volta in volta i prerequisiti necessari per il prosieguo. Il testo si presta dunque a un uso ‘sistematico’, finalizzato a uno studio esaustivo. Nulla vieta però di adattare il materiale ad altre esigenze, scegliendo solo alcuni argomenti che si ritengono utili a colmare le proprie carenze, per fare un ‘ripasso’ o per esercitarsi su argomenti già noti.
