Reviews
The book presents an interesting study of phenomena which were previously rarely considered together, namely constructivism and paraconsistency. It is clearly written with many (perhaps too many) abstracts and summaries which will help one see the forest, not only the trees. It may well be of interest for students of constructivism (not limited to mathematics) and paraconsistency. (Andrzej B. Indrzejczak, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2017) Andreas Kapsner's Logics and Falsifications is unique with respect to the detail and thoroughness of its examination of the formal and philosophical dimensions of falsification. ... Kapsner's work succeeds at providing a philosophically coherent framework robust enough to stand on its own while providing a natural and compelling elaboration on Dummettian themes. Given the recent increase in attention paid to the notion of falsification, Logics and Falsifications will undoubtedly serve as a significant resource to scholars working in these areas. (Thomas Macaulay Ferguson, dialectica, Vol. 70 (1), March, 2016) Logics and Falsifications should be read by anyone interested in the connections between formal logic and the philosophy of language, and it is highly recommended to those looking for well-entrenched philosophical motivations for non-classical logics, especially when it comes to paracompleteness and paraconsistency.
