Michael Dunn’s work on\ninformational interpretations of logic. Dunn, in his Ph.D. thesis (1966),\nintroduced a semantics for first-degree entailments utilizing the idea that a\nsentence can provide positive or negative information about a topic, possibly\nsupplying both or neither. He later published a related interpretation of the\nlogic R-mingle, which turned out to be one of the first relational semantics\nfor a relevance logic. An incompatibility relation between information states\nlends itself to a definition of negation and it has figured into Dunn's\ncomprehensive investigations into representations of various negations. The\ninformational view of semantics is also a prominent theme in Dunn’s research on\nother logics, such as quantum logic and linear logic, and led to the\nencompassing theory of generalized Galois logics (or \"gaggles\").\nDunn’s latest work addresses informational interpretations of the ternary\naccessibility relation and the verynature of information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with\nDunn’s autobiography, followed by a list of his publications. It then presents\na series of papers written by respected logicians working on different aspects\nof information-based logics. The topics covered include the logic R-mingle,\nwhich was introduced by Dunn, and its applications in mathematical reasoning as\nwell as its importance in obtaining results for other relevance logics. There\nare also interpretations of the accessibility relation in the semantics of\nrelevance and other non-classical logics using different notions of\ninformation. It also presents a collection of papers that develop semantics for\nvarious logics, including certain modal and many-valued logics.\u003c\/p\u003eThe publication of this\nbook is well timed, since we are living in an \"information age.” Providing\nnew technical findings, intellectual history and careful expositions of\nintriguing ideas, it appeals to a wide audience of scholars and researchers.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319292984\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29300-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 436\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407169994892,"sku":"9783319292984","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319292984.jpg?v=1775828577","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319292984","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
