Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Philosophical Logic is a clear and concise critical survey of nonclassical logic, written by one of the world's leading authorities on the subject. After giving an overview of classical logic, John Burgess introduces five central branches of nonclassical logic (temporal, modal, conditional, relevantistic, and intuitionistic), focusing on the sometimes problematic relationship between formal apparatus and intuitive motivation. The book provides a thorough treatment of conditional logic, unifying probabilistic and model-theoretic approaches. It underscores the variety of approaches that have been taken to relevantistic and related logics, and stresses the problem of connecting formal systems to the motivating ideas behind intuitionistic mathematics. Requiring minimal background and arranged to make the more technical material optional, Philosophical Logic offers a choice between an overview and in-depth study, and it balances the philosophical and technical aspects of the subject."--Page 4 de la couverture.
