Nearly a decade in the making, Gentle Propositions is a Vietnam War odyssey as experienced through the eyes of a young Special Forces soldier who volunteers to run recon with MACV-SOG out of Command and Control Central (CCC) at the beginning of 1969. This novel is a work of historical-fiction which includes a unique blend of both imaginary characters and real people who take part in both real and fictional events in time. Foreword by Lynne M. Black Jr.

Propositions are routinely invoked by philosophers, linguists, logicians, and other theorists engaged in the study of meaning, communication, and the mind. To investigate the nature of propositions is to investigate the very nature of our connection to each other, and to the world around us. As one of the only volumes of its kind, The Routledge Handbook of Propositions provides a comprehensive overview of the philosophy of propositions, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Comprising 33 original chapters by an international team of scholars, the volume addresses both traditional and emerging questions concerning the nature of propositions, and our capacity to engage with them in thought and in communication. The chapters are clearly organized into the following three sections: I. Foundational Issues in the Theory of Propositions II. Historical Theories of Propositions III. Contemporary Theories of Propositions Essential reading for philosophers of language and mind, and for those working in neighboring areas, The Routledge Handbook of Propositions is suitable for upper-level undergraduate study, as well as graduate and professional research.
