Opis

This book provides an incisive, basic introduction to many-valued logics and to the constructions that are "many-valued" at their origin. Using the matrix method, the author sheds light on the profound problems of many-valuedness criteria and its classical characterizations. The book also includes information concerning the main systems of many-valued logic, related axiomatic constructions, and conceptions inspired by many-valuedness. With its selective bibliography and many useful historical references, this book provides logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians with a valuable survey of the subject.

Recenzje

informative ... The author provides an efficient survey of the large and rather diffuse literature on many-valued logics ... gives a very good overview for someone wishing to orient themselves in the field, and provides a substantial list of references for anyone wishing to follow up particular topics. It is the best introductory monograph in the field, and can be confidently recommended to students ... an excellent read.
