[DL] LUW June 10, 4pm CET - Modal Logic in Europe (1930-1959) - Max Cresswell and Jacques Riche (eds)

[jean-yves beziau]

This coming Wednesday, June 10 at 4pm CET, we will have, at the Logica
Universalis Webinar, the presentation of the book
Modal Logic in Europe (1930-1959) edited  by Max Cresswell and Jacques Riche

Speaker: Jacques Riche
Abstract: This book explores the birth of modern modal logic, which offers
a precise formalism for encoding the concepts of possibility and necessity
within the fundamental logical formalism and for using them in conjunction
with the preexisting set of logical operators.
The editors of this volume have translated six foundational articles from
the original German and French, three of which have never appeared in
English before, and have provided a meticulous commentary on the texts,
aiding the reader in understanding the theory. Furthermore, they introduce
each article with a contextualization of the authors’ lives and works,
further enriching the collection. The original articles are by Oskar
Becker, Mordchaj Wajsberg, Robert Feys, Arnould Bayart, and include the
reproduction of an extract from Clarence I.Lewis’s A Survey of Symbolic
Logic.
