51The Asymmetry ThesisThe Monist 72 (1): 25-39. 1989.In a series of articles Gerald Massey has defended “the asymmetry thesis,” the thesis that “at the present stage of logical theory our ability to prove validity totally eclipses our ability to show invalidity.” My initial strategy in discussing this thesis will be to close in on it gradually by considering, sometimes summarily but sometimes in greater detail, various distinguishable theses in the neighborhood, gradually approximating the thesis which Massey wishes to defend.
