Unlike most modal logic textbooks, which are both forbidding mathematically and short on philosophical discussion, \u003ci\u003eModal Logics and Philosophy \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on showing how useful modal logic can be as a tool for formal philosophical analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Part 1, the reader is introduced to some standard systems of modal logic and provided with a series of exercises that encourage proficiency in manipulating these logics. Girle emphasizes possible world semantics for modal logics and its formal method, Jeffrey-style truth-trees, in which standard truth-trees are extended in a simple and transparent way to take possible worlds into account. Part 2 explores the applications of modal logic to philosophical issues such as truth, time, processes, knowledge and belief, and obligation and permission.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969689534615,"sku":"9780773536531","price":2893.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780773536531.webp?v=1782923337","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modal-logics-and-philosophy-second-edition-9780773536531","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
