An Introduction to Non-Classical Logic
This revised and considerably expanded edition of An Introduction to
Non-Classical Logic brings together a wide range of topics, including modal,
tense, conditional, intuitionist, many-valued, paraconsistent, relevant and
fuzzy logics. Part I, on propositional logic, is the old Introduction, but
contains much new material. Part II is entirely novel, and covers
quantification and identity for all the logics in Part I. The material is
unified by the underlying theme of world semantics. All of the topics are
explained clearly and accessibly, using devices such as tableau proofs, and
their relations to current philosophical issues and debates is discussed.
Students with a basic understanding of classical logic will find this book an
invaluable introduction to an area that has e of central importance
in both logicand philosophy. It will also interest people working in
mathematics puter science who wish to know about the area.
