What do the rules of logic say about the meanings of the symbols
they govern? In this book, James W. Garson examines the inferential
behaviour of logical connectives (such as 'and', 'or', 'not' and
'if ... then'), whose behaviour is defined by strict rules, and
proves definitive results concerning exactly what those rules
express about connective truth conditions. He explores the ways in
which, depending on circumstances, a system of rules may provide no
interpretation of a connective at all, or the interpretation we
ordinarily expect for it, or an unfamiliar or novel interpretation.
He also shows how the novel interpretations thus generated may be
used to help analyse philosophical problems such as vagueness and
the open future. His book will be valuable for graduates and
specialists in logic, philosophy of logic, and philosophy of
language.
