Reviews

'Free logic is still very much a current concern both to logicians and to philosophical logicians and philosophers of language and mathematics … I cannot but believe that the proposed collection will have anything but a major impact and would be invaluable as a teaching aid at intermediate and advanced level as well as professional research interest.' Peter Clark, University of St. Andrews 'These essays will be seen to be even more important once mathematicians and software engineers realize that what they thought was new and novel to their fields (E-logic and E+-logic and the various other names that these logics go by in mathematics and computer science) are varieties of free logic and were first discovered 30-45 years ago.' Raymond Gumb, University of Massachusetts, Lowell
