Description
Logic and the Modalities in the Twentieth Century is an indispensable research tool for anyone interested in the development of logic,
including researchers, graduate and senior undergraduate students in logic, history of logic, mathematics, history of mathematics, computer
science and artificial intelligence, linguistics, cognitive science, argumentation theory, philosophy, and the history of ideas.
This
volume is number seven in the eleven volume Handbook of the History of Logic. It concentrates on the development of modal logic in the
20th century, one of the most important undertakings in logic?s long history. Written by the leading researchers and scholars in the
field, the volume explores the logics of necessity and possibility, knowledge and belief, obligation and permission, time, tense and
change, relevance, and more. Both this volume and the Handbook as a whole are definitive reference tools for students and researchers
in the history of logic, the history of philosophy, and any discipline, such as mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence,
for whom the historical background of his or her work is a salient consideration.
Audience
The Handbook is aimed at researchers and historians in all areas of logic, including computer scientists and artificial intelligence theorists,
theorists of legal reasoning and cognitive psychologists.
