Editorial Review

Handbook of Philosophical Logic, Vol. 10
- Book Review, by Dov M. Gabbay (Editor)

Book Description
The first edition of the Handbook of Philosophical Logic (four volumes) was published in the period 1983-1989 and has proven to be an invaluable reference work to both students and researchers in formal philosophy, language and logic. The second edition of the Handbook is intended to comprise some 18 volumes and will provide a very up-to-date authoritative, in-depth coverage of all major topics in philosophical logic and its applications in many cutting-edge fields relating to computer science, language, argumentation, etc. The volumes will no longer be as topic-oriented as with the first edition because of the way the subject has evolved over the last 15 years or so. However the volumes will follow some natural groupings of chapters. Audience: Students and researchers whose work or interests involve philosophical logic and its applications.

Handbook of Philosophical Logic, Vol. 10

SYNOPSIS

First published over 15 years ago, the reference serves students and researchers in formal philosophy and language, and consumers of logic in many applied areas such as computer science and artificial intelligence. New chapters are included on non-monotonic logic, and combinatory logic and lambda-calculus. The discussions have been informed by recent research partnerships with fallacy theory, informal logic, and argumentation theory. The topics of the first volume are elementary predicate logic, systems between first-order and second- order logic, higher-order logic, algorithms and decision problems: recursive theory, and the mathematics of logic programming. The series is projected to fill 18 volumes.
