From the point of view of non-classical logics, Heyting's
implication is the smallest implication for which the deduction
theorem holds. This book studies properties of logical systems
having some of the classical connectives and implication in the
neighbourhood of Heyt ing's implication. I have not included
anything on entailment, al though it belongs to this neighbourhood,
mainly because of the appearance of the Anderson-Belnap book on
entailment. In the later chapters of this book, I have included
material that might be of interest to the intuitionist
mathematician. Originally, I intended to include more material in
that spirit but I decided against it. There is no coherent body of
material to include that builds naturally on the present book.
There are some serious results on topological models, second order
Beth and Kripke models, theories of types, etc., but it would
require further research to be able to present a general theory,
possibly using sheaves. That would have postponed pUblication for
too long. I would like to dedicate this book to my colleagues,
Professors G. Kreisel, M.O. Rabin and D. Scott. I have benefited
greatly from Professor Kreisel's criticism and suggestions.
Professor Rabin's fun damental results on decidability and
undecidability provided the powerful tools used in obtaining the
majority of the results reported in this book. Professor Scott's
approach to non-classical logics and especially his analysis of the
Scott consequence relation makes it possible to present Heyting's
logic as a beautiful, integral part of non-classical logics."
