It is a fact of modern scientific thought that there is an enormous
variety of logical systems - such as classical logic, intuitionist
logic, temporal logic, and Hoare logic, to name but a few - which
have originated in the areas of mathematical logic and computer
science. In this book the author presents a systematic study of
this rich harvest of logics via Tarski's well-known axiomatization
of the notion of logical consequence. New and sometimes unorthodox
treatments are given of the underlying principles and construction
of many-valued logics, the logic of inexactness, effective logics,
and modal logics. Throughout, numerous historical and philosophical
remarks illuminate both the development of the subject and show the
motivating influences behind its development. Those with a modest
acquaintance of modern formal logic will find this to be a readable
and not too technical account which will demonstrate the current
diversity and profusion of logics. In particular, undergraduate and
postgraduate students in mathematics, philosophy, computer science,
and artificial intelligence will enjoy this introductory survey of
the field.
