The volume analyses and develops David Makinson’s efforts to make
classical logic useful outside its most obvious application areas.
The book contains chapters that analyse, appraise, or reshape
Makinson’s work and chapters that develop themes emerging from
his contributions. These are grouped into major areas to which
Makinsons has made highly influential contributions and the volume
in its entirety is divided into four sections, each devoted to a
particular area of logic: belief change, uncertain reasoning,
normative systems and the resources of classical logic. Among the
contributions included in the volume, one chapter focuses on the
“inferential preferential method”, i.e. the combined use of
classical logic and mechanisms of preference and choice and
provides examples from Makinson’s work in non-monotonic and
defeasible reasoning and belief revision. One chapter offers a
short autobiography by Makinson which details his discovery of
modern logic, his travels across continents and reveals his
intellectual encounters and inspirations. The chapter also contains
an unusually explicit statement on his views on the (limited but
important) role of logic in philosophy.
