Edited by Professor Leon Horsten, Dr Richard Pettigrew
Part of the Bloomsbury Companions series
Description
The Continuum Companion to Philosophical Logic offers the definitive guide to a key area of contemporary philosophy.
The book covers all the fundamental areas of philosophical logic - topics that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research.
Seventeen specially commissioned essays from an international team of experts reveal where important work continues to be done in the area and, most valuably, the exciting new directions the field is taking.
The Companion explores issues pertaining to classical logic and its rivals, extensional and intensional extensions of classical logic, semantics for parts of natural language, and the application of logic in the theory of rationality.
Crucially the emphasis is on the role that logic plays in understanding philosophical problems.
Featuring a series of indispensable research tools, including an A to Z of key terms and concepts, a detailed list of resources, a bibliography and a companion website, this is the essential reference tool for anyone working in contemporary philosophical logic.
