$30.24

by Hartley Slater (Author)'Logic is not Mathematical' is a collection of the author's recently published papers. It traces a series of egregious errors that the founders of modern logic made, which have been uncorrected to this day largely because of the mathematical and empirical orientation of most of the main protagonists. Whether a piece of language is coherent or incoherent is independent of whether it has factual or fictional content, for one thing, but Logic is a literary subject, the ...

Dualities for Structures of Applied Logics - Paperback

$36.00

by Ewa Orlowska (Author), Anna Maria Radzikowska (Author), Ingid Rewitzky (Author)This book provides a framework for presenting algebras and frames arising as semantic structures for formal languages and for proving relationships between the structures.

Ideas from the classical dualities and representations of Stone, Priestley, and Urquhart are applied in such a way that topolo...

$38.88

by Nissim Francez (Author)This book is a monograph on the topic of Proof-Theoretic Semantics, a theory of meaning constituting an alternative to the more traditional Model-Theoretic Semantics. The latter regards meaning as truth-conditions (in arbitrary models), the former regards meaning as canonical derivability conditions in a meaning-conferring natural-deduction proof-system. In the first part of the book, the Proof-Theoretic Semantics for logic is presented. It surveys the way a natural-...

How to Sell a Contradiction: The Logic and Metaphysics of Inconsistency - Paperback

$67.68

by F. Berto (Author)"There is a principle in things, about which we cannot be deceived, but must always, on the contrary, recognize the truth - viz. that the same thing cannot at one and the same time be and not be" with these words of the Metaphysics, Aristotle introduced the Law of Non-Contradiction, which was to become the most authoritative principle in the history of Western thought. However, things have recently changed, and nowadays various philosophers, called dialetheists, claim that...

A New Approach to Quantum Logic - Paperback

$49.68

by K. Engesser (Author), D. M. Gabbay (Author), D. Lehmann (Author)This monograph is an investigation into certain new logical structures implicit in the formalism of quantum mechanics. Its message rests on two pillars. The first pillar is the dynamic view of propositions. Propositions are viewed as acting on states of the world and changing them rather than just being true or false in them. The second pillar is a logical enquiry into the nature of the states of a dynamic framework in general...
