Olejar Books

The book in front of you contains a collection of articles applying methods of logic or, more generally, those of mathematics to solve problems, some of which come from logic itself, others from other sciences. Its range of subjects is far from complete, but broadly representative. The first group of papers in this volume collects contributions to pure and applied modal logic. The problems discussed here range from the structure of lattices of normal and other modal propositional logics to modal proof theory and to the semantics of quantified modal logic. The second group of papers concern Many-valued logics - an extensive domain of strictly logical investigations having its roots in philosophical questions concerning the nature of logical values. Logical investigations in cognitive science have successfully utilized methods and systems of belief revision, non-monotonic logic and dynamic epistemic logic. The volume deals with focal issues of belief revision. The volume closes with papers making contributions which may be seen to belong to the field of formal epistemology the area applying logical, probabilistic, game-theoretic and other formal methods to problems and issues in epistemology and philosophy of science such as those concerning anti-realism, skepticism, theory comparison and theory choice, justification, sources of knowledge and learning theories.
