The Semantic Foundations of Logic Volume 1: Propositional Logics

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book grew out of my confusion. If logic is objective how can there be so many logics Is there one right logic, or many right ones Is there some underlying unity that connects them What is the significance of the mathematical theorems about logic which I've learned if they have no connection to our everyday reasoning The answers I propose revolve around the perception that what one pays attention to in reasoning determines which logic is appropriate. The act of abstracting from our reasoning in our usual language is the stepping stone from reasoned argument to logic. We cannot take this step alone, for we reason together: logic is reasoning which has some objective value. For you to understand my answers, or perhaps better, conjectures, I have retraced my steps: from the concrete to the abstract, from examples, to general theory, to further confirming examples, to reflections on the significance of the work.
