The Handbook of the History of Logic - Volume 8 The Many Valued and Non-monotonic Turn in LogicThe Handbook of the History of Logic - Volume 8 The Many Valued and Non-monotonic Turn in Logic

The present volume of the Handbook of the History of Logic brings together two of the most important developments in 20th century non-classical logic. These are many-valuedness and non-monotonicity. On the one approach, in deference to vagueness, temporal or quantum indeterminacy or reference-failure, sentences that are classically non-bivalent are allowed as inputs and outputs to consequence relations. Many-valued, dialetheic, fuzzy and quantum logics are, among other things, principled attempts to regulate the flow-through of sentences that are neither true nor false.

The Handbook of the History of Logic - Volume 3 The Rise of Modern Logic: From Leibniz to FregeThe Handbook of the History of Logic - Volume 3 The Rise of Modern Logic: From Leibniz to Frege

With the publication of the present volume, the Handbook of the History of Logic turns its attention to the rise of modern logic. The period covered is 1685-1900, with this volume carving out the territory from Leibniz to Frege. What is striking about this period is the earliness and persistence of what could be called 'the mathematical turn in logic'. Virtually every working logician is aware that, after a centuries-long run, the logic that originated in antiquity came to be displaced by a new approach with a dominantly mathematical character.
