The publication of Rasiowa and Sikorski's The Mathematics of
Metamathematics (1970), Rasiowa's An Algebraic Approach to
Non-Classical Logics (1974), and Wojcicki's Theory of Logical
Calculi (1988) created a niche in the field of mathematical and
philosophical logic. This in-depth study of the concept of a
consequence relation, culminating in the concept of a
Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra, fills this niche. Citkin and Muravitsky
consider the problem of obtaining confirmation that a statement is
a consequence of a set of statements as prerequisites, on the one
hand, and the problem of demonstrating that such confirmation does
not exist in the structure under consideration, on the other hand.
For the second part of this problem, the concept of the
Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra plays a key role, which becomes even more
important when the considered consequence relation is placed in the
context of decidability. This role is traced in the book for
various formal objective languages. The work also includes helpful
exercises to aid the reader's assimilation of the book's material.
Intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in
mathematics and philosophy, this book can be used to teach special
courses in logic with an emphasis on algebraic methods, for
self-study, and also as a reference work.
