Download or read book Relevant Logic written by Edwin D. Mares and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to relevant logic and provides it with a philosophical interpretation. The defining feature of relevant logic is that it forces the premises of an argument to be really used ('relevant') in deriving its conclusion. The logic is placed in the context of possible world semantics and situation semantics, which are then applied to provide an understanding of the various logical particles (especially implication and negation) and natural language conditionals. The book ends by examining various applications of relevant logic and presenting some interesting open problems.
