This book presents adaptive logics as an intuitive and powerful framework for modeling defeasible reasoning. It examines various contexts in which defeasible reasoning is useful and offers a compact introduction into adaptive logics. The author first familiarizes readers with defeasible reasoning, the adaptive logics framework, combinations of adaptive logics, and a range of useful meta-theoretic properties. He then offers a systematic study of adaptive logics based on various applications. The book presents formal models for defeasible reasoning stemming from different contexts, such as...

This book presents adaptive logics (ALs) as an intuitive and powerful framework to model defeasible reasoning. It offers case studies stemming from various contexts of defeasible reasoning, such as default reasoning, argumentation, and normative reasoning.
