Description
Summary:Intensional logics have their origin and use in research areas ranging from linguistics, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence to philosophy and computer science. This volume presents an up-to-date account of current trends in intensional logic. Consisting of 9 original research papers preceded by a survey of recent developments, the volume highlights recent advances in a number of interdisciplinary areas, including traditional philosophical concerns about correct descriptions and abstract objects; the use of intensional languages as descriptive tools for finite graphs; proof-theoretical considerations; general strategies of 'modalizing' calculi usually perceived to be non-modal; and mathematical foundations of intensional logics.
The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in pure and applied logic.
Physical Description:1 online resource (xiv, 291 pages) : illustrations.
