Description
An Introduction to Non-Classical Logic From If to Is by Graham Priest provides a comprehensive overview of various non-classical logics. This revised and expanded second edition, published in 2008, covers modal, tense, conditional, intuitionist, many-valued, paraconsistent, relevant, and fuzzy logics. The book is divided into two parts: the first part revises and updates the original introduction to propositional logic, while the second part presents new material on quantification and identity for all the logics in Part 1. A unifying theme of world semantics ties together the various topics, which are explained using devices such as tableau proofs. This book is an invaluable resource for students with a basic understanding of classical logic, offering an introduction to an area that has become central to both logic and philosophy. It will also interest those working in mathematics and computer science who wish to understand this field.
