  • What Logics Mean

    From Proof Theory to Model-Theoretic Semantics

    by James W. Garson ...
    What do the rules of logic say about the meanings of the symbols they govern? In this book, James W. Garson examines the inferential behaviour of logical connectives (such as 'and', 'or', 'not' and 'if … then'), whose behaviour is defined by strict rules, and proves definitive results concerning exactly what those rules express about connective truth conditions. He explores the ways in which, ... Read more

  • Hybrid Logic and its Proof-Theory

    by Torben Braüner ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This is the first book-length treatment of hybrid logic and its proof-theory. Hybrid logic is an extension of ordinary modal logic which allows explicit reference to individual points in a model (where the points represent times, possible worlds, states in a computer, or something else). This is useful for many applications, for example when reasoning about time one often wants to formulate a ... Read more

    Edited by Alexandru Baltag, Sonja Smets ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book illustrates the program of Logical-Informational Dynamics. Rational agents exploit the information available in the world in delicate ways, adopt a wide range of epistemic attitudes, and in that process, constantly change the world itself. Logical-Informational Dynamics is about logical systems putting such activities at center stage, focusing on the events by which we acquire ... Read more

  • Truth and Falsehood

    An Inquiry into Generalized Logical Values

    by Yaroslav Shramko, Heinrich Wansing ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The book presents a thoroughly elaborated logical theory of generalized truth-values understood as subsets of some established set of (basic) truth values. After elucidating the importance of the very notion of a truth value in logic and philosophy, we examine some possible ways of generalizing this notion. The useful four-valued logic of first-degree entailment by Nuel Belnap and the notion of a ... Read more

    Proofs, Probabilities, Possibilities, and Sets

    by David Papineau ...
