Free logic is an important field of philosophical logic that first
appeared in the 1950s. J. Karel Lambert was one of its founders and
coined the term itself. The essays in this collection (written over
a period of 40 years) explore the philosophical foundations of free
logic and its application to areas as diverse as the philosophy of
religion and computer science. Amongst the applications on offer
are those to the analysis of existence statements, to definite
descriptions and to partial functions. The volume contains a proof
that free logics of any kind are non-extensional and then uses that
proof to show that Quine's theory of predication and referential
transparency must fail. The purpose of this collection is to bring
an important body of work to the attention of a new generation of
professional philosophers, computer scientists and mathematicians.

Alexius Meinong's philosophy made a great impression on his
contemporaries in the English-speaking world, particularly Russell
and Moore, but since then has been largely ignored or disparaged by
analytical philosophers. In fact, however, as Karel Lambert asserts
in his preface, Meinong's philosophy is a compendium of valuable
and ingenious ideas bearing directly on some of the most central
and profound issues of analytical philosophy. As well as aiming to
revive interest in Meinong's thought, this book challenges many of
the most widespread assumptions of philosophical logic. It will
reopen questions about existence and the logical form for
representing it which many have regarded as closed and stimulate
them to rethink their positions.
Der Band ist mehr als eine Aufsatzsammlung, die Beitrage sind
aufeinander aufgebaut und dicht miteinander vernetzt.
Zusammengenommen wird damit ein neues Paradigma der Erklarung
geschaffen. Grossere Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Die
Beitrage dieses Bandes folgen zwei miteinander zusammenhangenden
Leitlinien: Zum einen handelt es sich um pragmatisch-epistemische
Erklarungsmodelle und zum zweiten wird der Begriff des Verstehens
als zentrales Moment von Erklarung wissenschaftstheoretisch
etabliert."
