Foundations of Logical Consequence by Colin R Caret

Foundations of Logical Consequence by Colin R Caret

Logical consequence is the relation that obtains between premises and conclusion(s) in a valid argument. Orthodoxy has it that valid arguments are necessarily truth-preserving, but this platitude only raises a number of further questions, such as: how does the truth of premises guarantee the truth of a conclusion, and what constraints does validity impose on rational belief? This volume presents thirteen essays by some of the most important scholars in the field of philosophical logic. The essays offer ground-breaking new insights into the nature of logical consequence; the relation between logic and inference; how the semantics and pragmatics of natural language bear on logic; the relativity of logic; and the structural properties of the consequence relation.

a most welcome collection of writings.. They represent some of the most important contemporary thoughts on a wide range of significant questions in philosophical logic, encompassing prooftheoretic and modeltheoretic accounts of validity, natural languages, relevant implication, logical relativism, deflationism about truth. * Victor V. Pambuccian, zbMATH *
