The volume analyses and develops David Makinson's efforts to make classical logic useful outside its most obvious application areas.

And their interconnected themes challenge at the same time how we think of logic, philosophy and computation. Thus, very much in line with van Benthem's work over many decades, the volume shows how all these disciplines form a natural unity in the perspective of dynamic logicians (broadly conceived) exploring their new themes today.

Petr Hajek on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic

Semantic Representationalism, Logical Dialogues, Knowledge and Epistemic logic are among some of the topics covered in this book's chapters.The book should appeal to students, scholars and teachers who wish to explore the philosophy of Jaako Hintikka.

Prawitz's eminent contributions to structural proof theory, or general proof theory, as he calls it, and inference-based meaning theories have been extremely influential in the development of modern proof theory and anti-realistic semantics.

Theinformational view of semantics is also a prominent theme in Dunn's research onother logics, such as quantum logic and linear logic, and led to theencompassing theory of generalized Galois logics (or "gaggles").

This book presents a set of historical recollections on the work of Martin Davis and his role in advancing our understanding of the connections between logic, computing, and unsolvability.

The second section explores belief revision and update, iterated and irrevocable beliefs change, dynamic doxastic logic and hypertheories. Segerberg has worked for more than thirty years to analyze the intricacies of real and doxastic actions using formal tools - mostly modal (dynamic) logic and its semantics.

This book discusses major milestones in Rohit Jivanlal Parikh¿s scholarly work. Highlighting the transition in Parikh¿s interest from formal languages to natural languages, and how he approached Wittgenstein¿s philosophy of language, it traces the academic trajectory of a brilliant scholar whose work opened up various new avenues in research. This volume is part of Springer¿s book series Outstanding Contributions to Logic, and honours Rohit Parikh and his works in many ways. Parikh is a leader in the realm of ideas, offering concepts and definitions that enrich the field and lead to new research directions. Parikh has contributed to a variety of areas in logic, computer science and game theory. In mathematical logic his contributions have been in recursive function theory, proof theory and non-standard analysis; in computer science, in the areas of modal, temporal and dynamic logics of programs and semantics of programs, as well as logics of knowledge; in artificial intelligence in the area of belief revision; and in game theory in the formal analysis of social procedures, with a strong undercurrent of philosophy running through all his work.This is not a collection of articles limited to one theme, or even directly connected to specific works by Parikh, but instead all papers are inspired and influenced by Parikh in some way, adding structures to and enriching ¿Parikh-land¿. The book presents a brochure-like overview of Parikh-land before providing an ¿introductory videö on the sights and sounds that you experience when reading the book.

Featuring critical assessments of Belnap's work, and a paper by the celebrated philosopher himself on case-intensional first order logic, this selection of original research on a much-debated topic charts his impact on the discussion and builds on his ideas.
