Description
Book SynopsisThis book develops a view of logic as a theory of information-driven agency and intelligent interaction between many agents - with conversation, argumentation and games as guiding examples. It will interest students and scholars in a wide variety of subject areas.
Trade Review'Logical Dynamics [of Information and Interaction] is at the frontiers of applied logic. This is an essential book for any student of the subject, written by a master of the field.' Dov Gabbay, King's College London
'… this book is the best we can have for now as a great source for the research in the field of logical dynamics of information and interaction. It can be used as a handbook of DEL as well. I think the author has succeeded in demonstrating a new view of logic as a theory of information flow in the interaction of agents.' Yanjing Wang, Studia Logica
