Wansing H. Essays on Non-Classical Logic 2001 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This volume contains the invited and various contributed refereed papers of a workshop on non-classical logic, held October 5-6, 1999 at the University of Konstanz (Germany) as part of the 18th Congress of the Allgemeine Gesellschaft fur Philosophic in Deutschland. In addition to these papers, two further papers have been invited. As a result, the present collection of essays covers quite a broad range of up-to-date topics in non-classical logic. The problems addressed range from methodological issues in paraconsistent logic (Urchs) and deontic logic (Wansing) to relations between the revision theory of truth and infinite Turing machines (Lowe). The papers give a lively picture of what is going on in contemporary non-classical logic. Recently, for instance, the new interest in game logics has led to a re-activation of the almost forgotten framework of dialogical logic. In the present volume, the versatitlity of this approach is carefully discussed (Riickert) and put to work in interesting applications (Rahman). Moreover, there are contributions to the very active fields of substructural logic (Robering) and classification of concepts of negation (Shramko). Mathematical and foundational aspects of modal and temporal logic, i.e., two core areas of non-classical logic, are dealt with in the papers by de Rijke/Sturm and Blackburn. Moreover, there is a contribution to an important issue in philosophical logic, namely truthmaker theory
