Eric Pacuit

Neighborhood Semantics for Modal Logic (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Provides both the relevant technical background and an overview of the key applications of neighborhood semantics in modal logic

Introduces the main techniques for reasoning about neighborhood structures with a modal language

Highlights the most convincing applications of neighborhood semantics for modal logic

Includes applications such as coalitional logic, game logic, dynamic logics of belief and evidence, subset space logic, and first-order extensions

Explains the precise relationship between neighborhood models and relational models, topological models, plausibility models, and (two-sorted) first-order logic

Autorenporträt

Eric Pacuit is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, USA. Before coming to Maryland, Eric worked at Stanford University, USA; at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; and at the Tilburg Institute for Logic and Philosophy of Science at Tilburg University, Netherlands. His research primarily addresses issues in interactive epistemology and group decision-making - two interdisciplinary areas that make use of ideas and techniques from logic (especially modal logic), philosophy, game theory and social choice theory. His research has been generously supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation and a VIDI grant from the NWO (the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research).

Rezensionen

"Neighbourhood frames offer an interpretation to systems of modal logic that generalises the more traditional relational frames. ... Complemented with the numerous pointers to the literature that it provides, the book will be a valuable source of information and practice for PhD students." (Éric Martin, zbMATH 1390.03001, 2018)
"Reading and writing a review of this wonderful book has been a pleasure. Knowing the basics of propositional modal logic may explain why I enjoyed reading it. The author has gathered and surveyed many papers in writing this book. This is a must-read for those who want to do research on neighborhood semantics--after having acquired a basic knowledge of modal logic." (Manoj K. Raut, Computing Reviews, February, 2019)
