This book addresses the hasty development of modern logic,
especially its introducing and embracing various kinds of
artificial languages and moving from the study of natural languages
to that of artificial ones. This shift seemed extremely helpful and
managed to elevate logic to a new level of rigor and clarity.
However, the change that logic underwent in this way was in no way
insignificant, and it is also far from an insignificant matter to
determine to what extent the "new logic" only engaged new and more
powerful instruments to answer the questions posed by the "old"
one, and to what extent it replaced these questions with new ones.
Hence, this movement has generated brand new kinds of philosophical
problems that have still not been dealt with systematically.
Philosophy of Logical Systems addresses these new kinds of
philosophical problems that are intertwined with the development of
modern logic. Jaroslav Peregrin analyzes the rationale behind the
introduction of the artificial languages of logic; classifies the
various tools which were adopted to build such languages; gives an
overview of the various kinds of languages introduced in the course
of modern logic and the motifs of their employment; discusses what
can actually be achieved by relocating the problems of logic from
natural language into them; and reaches certain conclusions with
respect to the possibilities and limitations of this "formal turn"
of logic. This book is both an important scholarly contribution to
the philosophy of logic and a systematic survey of the standard
(and not so standard) logical systems that were established during
the short history of modern logic.
