Contributor(s): Beall, JC | Restall, Greg.
Publisher: Oxford Oxford University Press 2006Description: viii,143p.ISBN: 9780199288410.Subject(s): Logic | CansationDDC classification: 160 | B36l Summary: Consequence is at the heart of logic; an account of consequence, of what follows from what, offers a vital tool in the evaluation of arguments. Since philosophy itself proceeds by way of argument and inference, a clear view of what logical consequence amounts to is of central importance to the whole discipline. In this book JC Beall and Greg Restall present and defend what thay call logical pluralism, the view that there is more than one genuine deductive consequence relation, a position which has profound implications for many linguists as well as for philosophers. We should not search for one true logic, since there are many.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
