{"product_id":"selected-topics-from-contemporary-logics-melvin-fitting-9781848903500","title":"Selected Topics from Contemporary Logics","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs used by professional logicians today, is the name of their chosen subject\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e singular or plural, \"logic\" or \"logics\"? This is a special case of a more general\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e question. For instance, an algebraist might write a book entitled \"Algebra\", which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e is about algebras. Though many mathematicians are not aware of it, logic today\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e most decidedly has its plural aspect. Indeed, it always did. Classical logic, which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e mathematicians often tend to identify with the entirety of logic, was in place\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e roughly by the beginning of the twentieth century. Since then a wide range of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e so-called non-classical logics have been developed. But indeed, before the creation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e of classical logic, there were multiple versions of logic, some of them more-or-less\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e formalized. The current growing interest in medieval and ancient European and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Asian logics has brought much of this back to modern awareness. Perhaps a later\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e volume in this series will look at the history from a contemporary viewpoint. But\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e that is not our task here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the second volume in a series called Landscapes in Logic. The intention\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e of the series is to present reports illustrating the interplay between contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e work in logic and mainstream mathematics. Of course this is both vague and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e overly ambitious, and must result in heterogeneous collections. The first volume\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e in the series, Contemporary Logic and Computing, appeared in 2020. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e contents divided plausibly into topics from contemporary logic, and from contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e computing. The present volume is more diverse, and includes articles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e about both classical and non-classical logics, sometimes from the semantic side\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and sometimes from the proof-theoretic side. Some articles are primarily technical, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e often algebraic, while others are more philosophical in nature. Many fit into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e multiple categories. This multiplicity should not be seen as a defect. The papers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e here do not just explore logics house by house, but say something about their\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e general neighborhoods as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melvin Fitting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848903502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848903500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e College Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.70d","brand":"Melvin Fitting","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042634133759,"sku":"9781848903500","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8f3e5b4-2898-47fc-8e3e-412c647b93b6.jpg?v=1684962643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-topics-from-contemporary-logics-melvin-fitting-9781848903500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
