Restall, Greg (164 results)

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Greg Restall's Logic provides concise introductions to propositional and first-order predicate logic while showing how formal logic intersects with substantial philosophical issues such as vagueness, conditionals, relevance, propositional attitudes, and opaque contents. The author also examines the ideas behind modal logic, free logic, and other non-standard logics and discusses the nature of logic itself. The book covers both natural deduction and tree methods for proving validity. Each chapter includes excellent suggestions for further reading and both elementary and more advanced exercises, with solutions provided on a website. It is flexibly designed to be useable for half or full-year courses, for courses focusing exclusively on formal logic, or for a variety of approaches that would integrate topics in philosophical logic. Restall examines many of the interesting issues raised by basic logical techniques and will undoubtedly stimulate further study in the discipline. This is a logic book designed principally for philosophers but which will also be of interest to students of computer science, cognitive science, and linguistics. …

Paperback. Condition: New. This Element is an introduction to recent work proofs and models in philosophical logic, with a focus on the semantic paradoxes the sorites paradox. It introduces and motivates different proof systems and different kinds of models for a range of logics, including classical logic, intuitionistic logic, a range of three-valued and four-valued logics, and substructural logics. It also compares and contrasts the different approaches to substructural treatments of the paradox, showing how the structural rules of contraction, cut and identity feature in paradoxical derivations. It then introduces model theoretic treatments of the paradoxes, including a simple fixed-point model construction which generates three-valued models for theories of truth, which can provide models for a range of different non-classical logics. The Element closes with a discussion of the relationship between proofs and models, arguing that both have their place in the philosophers' and logicians' toolkits.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An accessible introduction to philosophical logic, suitable for undergraduate courses and above.An accessible introduction to philosophical logic, suitable for undergraduate courses and above.Rigorous yet accessible, Logical Methods introduces logical tools used in philosophy-including proofs, models, modal logics, meta-theory, two-dimensional logics, and quantification-for philosophy students at the undergraduate level and above. The approach developed by Greg Restall and Shawn Standefer is distinct from other texts because it presents proof construction on equal footing with model building and emphasizes connections to other areas of philosophy as the tools are developed.Throughout, the material draws on a broad range of examples to show readers how to develop and master tools of proofs and models for propositional, modal, and predicate logic; to construct and analyze arguments and to find their structure; to build counterexamples; to understand the broad sweep of formal logic's development in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; and to grasp key concepts used again and again in philosophy.This text is essential to philosophy curricula, regardless of specialization, and will also find wide use in mathematics and computer science programs.Features:An accessible introduction to proof theory for readers with no background in logicCovers proofs, models, modal logics, meta-theory, two-dimensional logics, quantification, and many other topicsProvides tools and techniques of particular interest to philosophers and philosophical logiciansFeatures short summaries of key concepts and skills at the end of each chapterOffers chapter-by-chapter exercises in two categories: basic, designed to reinforce important ideas; and challenge, designed to push students' understanding and developing skills in new directions "An advanced-level logic textbook that presents proof construction on equal footing with model building. Potentially relevant to students of mathematics and computer science as well"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
