  • Meaning and Proscription in Formal Logic

    Variations on the Propositional Logic of William T. Parry

    by Thomas Macaulay Ferguson ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book aids in the rehabilitation of the wrongfully deprecated work of William Parry, and is the only full-length investigation into Parry-type propositional logics.A central tenet of the monograph is that the sheer diversity of the contexts in which the mereological analogy emerges – its effervescence with respect to fields ranging from metaphysics to computer programming – provides compelling ...

  • Elements of Logical Reasoning

    by Jan von Plato ...
    Some of our earliest experiences of the conclusive force of an argument come from school mathematics: faced with a mathematical proof, we cannot deny the conclusion once the premises have been accepted. Behind such arguments lies a more general pattern of 'demonstrative arguments' that is studied in the science of logic. Logical reasoning is applied at all levels, from everyday life to advanced ...

  • Paraconsistency: Logic and Applications

    Edited by Koji Tanaka, Francesco Berto, Edwin Mares, Francesco Paoli ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    A logic is called 'paraconsistent' if it rejects the rule called 'ex contradictione quodlibet', according to which any conclusion follows from inconsistent premises. While logicians have proposed many technically developed paraconsistent logical systems and contemporary philosophers like Graham Priest have advanced the view that some contradictions can be true, and advocated a paraconsistent logic ...

    Probability-Based Formalization of Uncertain Reasoning

    by Zoran Ognjanović, Miodrag Rašković, Zoran Marković ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to probability logic-based formalization of uncertain reasoning. The authors' primary interest is mathematical techniques for infinitary probability logics used to obtain results about proof-theoretical and model-theoretical issues such as axiomatizations, completeness, compactness, and decidability, including solutions of some problems from the ...

  • 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

  • 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

  • Logicism and its Philosophical Legacy

    by William Demopoulos ...
    The idea that mathematics is reducible to logic has a long history, but it was Frege who gave logicism an articulation and defense that transformed it into a distinctive philosophical thesis with a profound influence on the development of philosophy in the twentieth century. This volume of classic, revised and newly written essays by William Demopoulos examines logicism's principal legacy for ... Read more
