    Book SynopsisThis textbook is a logic manual which includes an elementary course and an advanced course. It covers more than most introductory logic textbooks, while maintaining a comfortable pace that students can follow. The technical exposition is clear, precise and follows a paced increase in complexity, allowing the reader to get comfortable with previous definitions and procedures before facing more difficult material. The book also presents an interesting overall balance between formal and philosophical discussion, making it suitable for both philosophy and more formal/science oriented students. This textbook is of great use to undergraduate philosophy students, graduate philosophy students, logic teachers, undergraduates and graduates in mathematics, computer science or related fields in which logic is required.

  • Springer Nature Switzerland AG Symbolic Logic

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive introduction to the essential elements of standard (classical) symbolic logic. Key topics covered include: · The characteristic nature and scope of logic as a discipline · The construction of a series of distinctly named formal languages suitable for formal translation · Semantic models · The construction of decision procedures · The execution of proof-theoretic arrangements like natural deduction and proof-sequent systems The book covers both the semantics and proof theory of the standard sentential (propositional) logic and predicate (first-order) logic. Other topics covered include: parsing trees, extraction of alternative notations (for instance, Polish notation), Fitch-style proof-theory, sequent and ‘tree’ proof systems, comparisons and contrasts with intuitionistic logic, and presentations of predicate logic models. An ancillary chapter on elements of set theory is conveniently placed at the end and includes insights into the Zermelo-Fraenkel systematization of set theory. The philosophy of logic is also explored. Exercises in the text provide instruction on mathematical induction for the construction of formula, tests for the well-formedness of Polish notation, and functional completeness. Symbolic Logic is essential reading for all philosophy students taking intermediate level formal logic courses and will also appeal to diligent first year students of logic. The text is replete with exercises on both the formal machinery and the philosophical aspects of logic.Table of Contents1. What Logic Studies.- 2. Concepts of Deductive Reasoning.- 3.

  • Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Logical Writings of Karl Popper

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis open access book is the first ever collection of Karl Popper's writings on deductive logic.Karl R. Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His philosophy of science ("falsificationism") and his social and political philosophy ("open society") have been widely discussed way beyond academic philosophy. What is not so well known is that Popper also produced a considerable work on the foundations of deductive logic, most of it published at the end of the 1940s as articles at scattered places. This little-known work deserves to be known better, as it is highly significant for modern proof-theoretic semantics.This collection assembles Popper's published writings on deductive logic in a single volume, together with all reviews of these papers. It also contains a large amount of unpublished material from the Popper Archives, including Popper's correspondence related to deductive logic and manuscripts that were (almost) finished, but did not reach the publication stage. All of these items are critically edited with additional comments by the editors. A general introduction puts Popper's work into the context of current discussions on the foundations of logic. This book should be of interest to logicians, philosophers, and anybody concerned with Popper's work.Table of Contents Part I: Articles.- Chapter 1.

  • De Gruyter Commentary on Husserl's Ideas I

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisHusserl's Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy (1913) is one of the key texts of twentieth century philosophy. It is the first of Husserl's published works to present his distinctive version of transcendental philosophy and to put forward the ambitious claim that phenomenology is the fundamental science of philosophy. In Ideas, Husserl introduces for the first time the conceptual arsenal of his mature phenomenology: the principle of all principles, the phenomenological epoché and reduction, pure consciousness, and the noema. All these difficult notions have been influential and controversial in subsequent philosophy, both analytic and Continental. In this commentary, thirteen leading scholars of Husserlian phenomenology set out to clarify and defend Husserl's views, connecting them to the vast corpus of his published and unpublished writings, and discussing the main available interpretations in the existing scholarship. The result is a detailed and comprehensive account of the most original form of transcendental philosophy since Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.

  • De Gruyter The 1903 Lowell Lectures

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn three comprehensive volumes, Logic of the Future presents a fullpanorama of Charles S. Peirce’s important late writings. Among themost influential American thinkers, Peirce took his existential graphs tobe his greatest contribution to human thought. The manuscriptsfrom 1895—1913, most of which are published here for the first time, testify therichness and open-endedness of his theory of logic and its applications.They also invite us to reconsider our ordinary conceptions of reasoning aswell as the conventional stories told about the evolution of modern logic. This second volume collects Peirce’s writings on existential graphs related to his Lowell Lectures of 1903, the annus mirabilis of his that became decisive in the development of the mature theory of the graphical method of logic.

  • De Gruyter Eugenio Coseriu: Past, Present and Future

    15 in stock

    Book Synopsis The volume is published on the occasion of the birth centennial of Eugenio Coseriu (1921–2002). It is the first collective volume to appear in English in which various scholars present a variety of perspectives on Coseriu’s scholarly work and discuss its continuing relevance for the language sciences. Coseriu’s international reputation has suffered from his commitment to publish in languages such as Spanish, German, French, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese, to the detriment of English. As a consequence, his work is less well-known outside Romance and German linguistics. The volume aims to raise the general awareness of Coseriu’s work among linguists around the world, in accordance with Coseriu’s own adage that it takes a constructive mindset (acknowledging "accomplishments and limitations") to do justice to all scholarly work in the humanities. The articles are organized into three major thematic clusters: 1) philosophy of language, 2) history of the language sciences and 3) theory and practice of "Integral Linguistics". The volume is essential reading for anyone working in these fields and for those seeking to gain deeper understanding of Coseriu’s goal to develop a unitary approach to language which takes as its point of departure the "activity of speaking".

  • Springer International Publishing AG Dag Prawitz on Proofs and Meaning

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume is dedicated to Prof. Dag Prawitz and his outstanding contributions to philosophical and mathematical logic. Prawitz's eminent contributions to structural proof theory, or general proof theory, as he calls it, and inference-based meaning theories have been extremely influential in the development of modern proof theory and anti-realistic semantics. In particular, Prawitz is the main author on natural deduction in addition to Gerhard Gentzen, who defined natural deduction in his PhD thesis published in 1934. The book opens with an introductory paper that surveys Prawitz's numerous contributions to proof theory and proof-theoretic semantics and puts his work into a somewhat broader perspective, both historically and systematically. Chapters include either in-depth studies of certain aspects of Dag Prawitz's work or address open research problems that are concerned with core issues in structural proof theory and range from philosophical essays to papers of a mathematical nature. Investigations into the necessity of thought and the theory of grounds and computational justifications as well as an examination of Prawitz's conception of the validity of inferences in the light of three “dogmas of proof-theoretic semantics” are included. More formal papers deal with the constructive behaviour of fragments of classical logic and fragments of the modal logic S4 among other topics. In addition, there are chapters about inversion principles, normalization of proofs, and the notion of proof-theoretic harmony and other areas of a more mathematical persuasion. Dag Prawitz also writes a chapter in which he explains his current views on the epistemic dimension of proofs and addresses the question why some inferences succeed in conferring evidence on their conclusions when applied to premises for which one already possesses evidence.Trade Review“Swedish logician and philosopher Dag Prawitz and his distinguished contributions to philosophical and mathematical logic are the focus of this book. … This is an excellent book, celebrating not only Prawitz’s career, but also a movement in the contrary direction of W. V. O Quine’s views against the so-called (somehow prejudicially) ‘deviant’ logics, and I cannot forbear from congratulating the editor for the distinctive choice of topics and for the general tone of the book.” (Walter Carnielli, Computing Reviews, May, 2015)Table of ContentsPrawitz, proofs, and meaning; Wansing, Heinrich.- A short scientific autobiography; Prawitz, Dag.- Explaining deductive inference; Prawitz, Dag.- Necessity of Thought; Cozzo, Cesare.- On the Motives for Proof Theory; Detlefsen, Michael.- Inferential Semantics; Došen, Kosta.- Cut elimination, substitution and normalization; Dyckhoff, Roy.- Inversion principles and introduction rules; Milne, Peter.- Intuitionistic Existential Instantiation and Epsilon Symbol; Mints, Grigori.- Meaning in Use; Negri, Sara and von Plato, Jan.- Fusing Quantifiers and Connectives: Is Intuitionistic Logic Different?; Pagin, Peter.- On constructive fragments of Classical Logic; Pereira; Luiz Carlos and Haeusler, Edward Hermann.- General-Elimination Harmony and Higher-Level Rules; Read, Stephen.- Hypothesis-discharging rules in atomic bases; Sandqvist, Tor.- Harmony in proof-theoretic semantics: A reductive analysis; Schroeder-Heister, Peter.- First-order Logic without bound variables: Compositional Semantics; Tait, William W.- On Gentzen’s Structural Completeness Proof; Tennant, Neil.- A Notion of C-Justification for Empirical Statements; Usberti, Gabriele.

  • Springer International Publishing AG Toward Predicate Approaches to Modality

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn this volume, the author investigates and argues for, a particular answer to the question: What is the right way to logically analyze modalities from natural language within formal languages? The answer is: by formalizing modal expressions in terms of predicates. But, as in the case of truth, the most intuitive modal principles lead to paradox once the modal notions are conceived as predicates.The book discusses the philosophical interpretation of these modal paradoxes and argues that any satisfactory approach to modality will have to face the paradoxes independently of the grammatical category of the modal notion. By systematizing modal principles with respect to their joint consistency and inconsistency, Stern provides an overview of the options and limitations of the predicate approach to modality that may serve as a useful starting point for future work on predicate approaches to modality. Stern also develops a general strategy for constructing philosophically attractive theories of modal notions conceived as predicates. The idea is to characterize the modal predicate by appeal to its interaction with the truth predicate. This strategy is put to use by developing the modal theories Modal Friedman-Sheard and Modal Kripke-Feferman.Trade Review“The book can be considered a deep analysis of modal paradoxes, providing an overview of limitations of the predicate modality treatment. It is almost self-contained and presents a good starting point in research of the axiomatic theories of truth.” (Branislav Boričić, Mathematical Reviews, May 2017)Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. Modality and Logic.- Chapter 3. Consistencies and Inconsistencies in Modal Logic.- Chapter 4. Modality and Axiomatic Theories of Truth.- Chapter 5. Conclusion.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisMedieval logic is usually divided into the branches that derived from Aristotle's organon - the 'logica vetus' and 'logica nova', and those invented in the Middle Ages, the 'logica modernorum'. In this volume, a group of distinguished specialists asks whether the ancient roots of medieval logic were not in fact more varied. Stoic logic was mostly lost, but were some of its themes transmitted, even in distorted form, through Boethius and through the grammatical tradition? And did other schools, such as the sceptics and the Platonists, contribute in their own ways to medieval logic?

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisOther Logics: Alternatives to Formal Logic in the History of Thought and Contemporary Philosophy challenges the widespread idea of formal logic as inherently monolithic, universal, and ahistorical. Written by both leading and up-and-coming scholars, and edited by Admir Skodo, Other Logics offers a wide variety of historical and philosophical alternatives to this idea, all arguing that logic is a historical, concrete, and multi-dimensional phenomenon. To name a few examples, Frank Ankersmit lays down a representationalist logic, Alessandra Tanesini forcefully argues for the possibility of logical aliens, Christopher Watkin analyzes how leading contemporary French philosophers view the idea of logic, and Aaron Wendland unearths Heidegger's critique of formal logic. In Other Logics readers will find provocative interventions in a highly contested field in contemporary philosophy. Contributors include: Frank Ankersmit, Christopher Watkin, Giuseppina D'Oro, Alessandra Tanesini, Admir Skodo, Aaron Wendland, Ervik Cejvan, Anders Kraal, Christopher Fear, Karim Dharamsi, Johan Modée, and Thord Svensson.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Acknowledgments 4 Notes on Contributors 5 Other Logics: Introduction, by Admir Skodo 7 PART I: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE HISTORY OF THOUGHT 24 1.

  • Brill Philosophy from an Empirical Standpoint: Essays on Carl Stumpf

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to highlight Carl Stumpf’s contributions to philosophy and to assess some of the aspects of his work. This book is divided into four sections, and also includes a general introduction on Stumpf’s philosophy. The first section examines the historical sources of his philosophy, the second examines some of the central themes of his work and the third examines his relationship to other philosophers. The fourth section consists of notes taken by Husserl during Stumpf’s lectures on metaphysics in Halle, Stumpf’s introduction to the edition of his correspondence with Brentano, which he prepared in 1929, and some important letters pertaining to this correspondence. This book also provides a comprehensive bibliography of the works of Stumpf.Trade Review"Considering the many issues addressed in the papers of the book and the important unpublished materials yield now accessible, the project edited by Denis Fisette and Riccardo Martinelli is an essential instrument of research in this field. ... In the wake of the book Carl Stumpf – From Philosophical Reflection to Interdisciplinary Scientific Investigation (Krammer 2011), this book represents a further and decisive step in recognising the significance of Stumpf in the philosophical-psychological thought of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century." Gemmo Iocco, in Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger 69 (issue 4), 2016. "Denis Fisette and Riccardo Martinelli have put together the most comprehensive, ambitious, and engaging collection of essays on the philosophy of Carl Stumpf (1848–1936) to date. The volume is impressive in both scope and depth. ... Philosophy from an Empirical Standpoint is a landmark publication. It will have a long-lasting impact on the history of early twentieth century European philosophy and its ramifications up to our present.” Andrea Staiti, in The Philosophical Quarterly "Bien plus qu’une hypothétique reconstruction synthétique de l’oeuvre de Stumpf, Philosophy from an Empirical Standpoint: Essays on Carl Stumpf offre au lecteur un approfondissement des thèmes centraux de sa philosophie qui permet de penser la place de cette figure emblématique dans la philosophie allemande du xxe siècle." Maxime Julien, in Philosophiques, 42, (issue 2), 2015. "The general picture that emerges from this successful volume is that Stumpf was indeed a philosopher, not “just” an experimental psychologist treating of “matter of facts” in acoustics. ... Thanks to Denis Fisette and Riccardo Martinelli’s precious book, Stumpf’s position in the “scientific classifications” (Einteilung der Wissenschaften) will be considered anew."

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume pays homage to the historian of logic Angel d’Ors (1951-2012), by bringing together a set of studies that together illuminate the complex historical development of logic and semantics. Two main traditions, Aristotelian and terminist, are showcased to demonstrate the changes and confrontations that constitute this history, and a number of different authors and texts, from the Boethian reception of Aristotle to the post-medieval terminism, are discussed. Special topics dealt with include the medieval reception of ancient logic; technical tools for the medieval analysis of language; the medieval theory of consequence; the medieval practice of disputation and sophisms; and the post-medieval refinement of the terminist tools. Contributors are E.J. Ashworth, Allan Bäck, María Cerezo, Sten Ebbesen, José Miguel Gambra, C.H. Kneepkens, Kalvin Normore, Angel d’Ors, Paloma Pérez-Ilzarbe, Stephen Read, Joke Spruyt, Luisa Valente, and Mikko Yrjönsuuri.

  • Brill Hinge Epistemology

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisIn Hinge Epistemology, eminent epistemologists investigate Wittgenstein's concept of basic certainty or 'hinge certainty'. The volume begins by examining the salient features of 'hinges': Are they propositions that enjoy a special kind of non-evidential justification? Are they objects of knowledge or ways of acting mistaken for known propositions? Various attempts are then made to integrate hinges in the development of a viable epistemology: Can they shed light on the conditions of satisfaction for knowledge and justification? Do they offer a solution to scepticism? Finally, the application of hinges is explored in such areas as common knowledge and intellectual loyalty. The volume attests to the importance of hinge certainty and Wittgenstein's On Certainty for mainstream epistemology.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Hinge Epistemology, Annalisa Coliva and Danièle Moyal-Sharrock Which Hinge Epistemology?, Annalisa Coliva The Animal in Epistemology, Danièle Moyal-Sharrock Wittgenstein on Mathematics and Certainties, Martin Kusch Miracles, Hinges, and Grammar in Wittgenstein’s On Certainty, Luigi Perissinotto ‘Hinge Propositions’ and the ‘Logical’ Exclusion of Doubt, Genia Schönbaumsfeld In Defense of a Critical Commonsensist Conception of Knowledge, Claudine Tiercelin The Sources of Scepticism, Duncan Pritchard Epistemic Norms and the Limits of Epistemology, Pascal Engel After the Spade Turns: Disagreement, First Principles and Epistemic Contractarianism, Michael P.

  • Brill Formal and Informal Methods in Philosophy

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines the tension between formal and informal methods in philosophy. The rise of analytic philosophy was accompanied by the development of formal logic and many successful applications of formal methods. But analytical philosophy does not rely on formal methods alone. Elements of broadly understood informal logic and logical semiotics, procedures used in natural sciences and humanities, and various kinds of intuition also belong to the philosopher’s toolkit. Papers gathered in the book concern the opposition formality–informality as well as other pairs, such as methodology versus metaphilosophy, interdisciplinarity versus intradisciplinarity, and methodological uniformity versus diversity of sciences. Problems of the nature of logic and the explanatory role of mathematical theories are also discussed.

  • Brill Powerful Arguments: Standards of Validity in Late Imperial China

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe essays in Powerful Arguments reconstruct the standards of validity underlying argumentative practices in a wide array of late imperial Chinese discourses, from the Song through the Qing dynasties. The fourteen case studies analyze concrete arguments defended or contested in areas ranging from historiography, philosophy, law, and religion to natural studies, literature, and the civil examination system. By examining uses of evidence, habits of inference, and the criteria by which some arguments were judged to be more persuasive than others, the contributions recreate distinct cultures of reasoning. Together, they lay the foundations for a history of argumentative practice in one of the richest scholarly traditions outside of Europe and add a chapter to the as yet elusive global history of rationality.Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgements List of Figures Notes on Contributors Introduction: Toward a History of Argumentative Practice in Late Imperial China  Martin Hofmann, Joachim Kurtz, and Ari Daniel Levine Part 1: Comparison, Collation, Validation  1 Historical and Political Arguments: Debates on the Veritable Records in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644)   Peter Ditmanson  2 A Performance of Transparency: Discourses of Veracity and Practices of Verification in Li Tao’s Long Draft   Ari Daniel Levine  3 Learning with Metal and Stone: On the Discursive Formation of Song Epigraphy   Jeffrey Moser Part 2: Visualization, Demonstration, Calculation  4 The Persuasive Power of Tu: A Case Study on Commentaries to the Book of Documents   Martin Hofmann  5 Inductive Arguments in the Midst of Smoke: “Proving” Rhetorically and Visually That Algorithms Work   Andrea Bréard  6 Keeping Your Ear to the Cosmos: Coherence as the Standard of Good Music in the Northern Song   Ya Zuo  7 The Textual Nature of Nature: Astronomical Debates in Eighteenth-Century China   Ori Sela Part 3: Verification, Evaluation, Authentication  8 Identity Verification as a Standard of Validity in Late Imperial Civil Service Examinations   John Williams  9 Standards of Validity and Essay Grading in Early Qing Civil Service Examinations   Li Yu虞莉  10 Some Problems with Corpses: Standards of Validity in Qing Homicide Cases   Matthew H.
