Initially proposed as rivals of classical logic, alternative logics
have become increasingly important in areas such as computer
science and artificial intelligence. Fuzzy logic, in particular,
has motivated major technological developments in recent years.
Susan Haack's "Deviant Logic" provided the first extended
examination of the philosophical consequences of alternative
logics. In this new volume, Haack includes the complete text of
"Deviant Logic," as well as five additional papers that expand and
update it. Two of these essays critique fuzzy logic, while three
augment "Deviant Logic"'s treatment of deduction and logical truth.
Haack also provides an extensive new foreword, brief introductions
to the new essays, and an updated bibliography of recent work in
these areas.
"Deviant Logic, Fuzzy Logic" will be indispensable to students of
philosophy, philosophy of science, linguistics, mathematics, and
computer science, and will also prove invaluable to experienced
scholars working in these fields.
