Initially proposed as rivals of classical logic, alternative
logics have become increasingly important in sciences such as
quantum physics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. The
contributions collected in this volume address and explore the
question whether the usage of logic in the sciences, especially in
modern physics, requires a deviation from classical mathematical
logic. The articles in the first part of the book set the scene by
describing the context and the dilemma when applying logic in
science. In part II the authors offer several logics that deviate
in different ways from classical logics. The twelve papers in part
III investigate in detail specific aspects such as quantum logic,
quantum computation, computer-science considerations, praxic logic,
and quantum probability. Most of the contributions are revised and
partially extended versions of papers presented at a conference of
the same title of the Academie Internationale de Philosophie des
Sciences held at the Internationales Forschungszentrum Salzburg in
May 1999. Others have been added to complete the picture of recent
research in alternative logics as they have been developed for
applications in the sciences.
