The Semantic Conception of Logic : Essays on Consequence, Invariance, and Meaning, Paperback / softback Book

The Semantic Conception of Logic : Essays on Consequence, Invariance, and Meaning Paperback / softback

Edited by Gil (University of Haifa, Israel) Sagi, Jack (University of Leeds) Woods

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection of new essays presents cutting-edge research on the semantic conception of logic, the invariance criteria of logicality, grammaticality, and logical truth.

Contributors explore the history of the semantic tradition, starting with Tarski, and its historical applications, while central criticisms of the tradition, and especially the use of invariance criteria to explain logicality, are revisited by the original participants in that debate.

Other essays discuss more recent criticism of the approach, and researchers from mathematics and linguistics weigh in on the role of the semantic tradition in their disciplines.

This book will be invaluable to philosophers and logicians alike.
