This is a special case of a more general\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e question. For instance, an algebraist might write a book entitled \"Algebra\", which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e is about algebras. Though many mathematicians are not aware of it, logic today\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e most decidedly has its plural aspect. Indeed, it always did. Classical logic, which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e mathematicians often tend to identify with the entirety of logic, was in place\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e roughly by the beginning of the twentieth century. Since then a wide range of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e so-called non-classical logics have been developed. But indeed, before the creation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e of classical logic, there were multiple versions of logic, some of them more-or-less\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e formalized. The current growing interest in medieval and ancient European and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Asian logics has brought much of this back to modern awareness. Perhaps a later\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e volume in this series will look at the history from a contemporary viewpoint. But\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e that is not our task here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the second volume in a series called Landscapes in Logic. The intention\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e of the series is to present reports illustrating the interplay between contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e work in logic and mainstream mathematics. Of course this is both vague and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e overly ambitious, and must result in heterogeneous collections. The first volume\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e in the series, Contemporary Logic and Computing, appeared in 2020. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e contents divided plausibly into topics from contemporary logic, and from contemporary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e computing. The present volume is more diverse, and includes articles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e about both classical and non-classical logics, sometimes from the semantic side\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and sometimes from the proof-theoretic side. Some articles are primarily technical, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e often algebraic, while others are more philosophical in nature. Many fit into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e multiple categories. This multiplicity should not be seen as a defect. The papers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e here do not just explore logics house by house, but say something about their\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e general neighborhoods as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46449797038231,"sku":"9781848903500","price":2836.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781848903500.webp?v=1769147945","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/selected-topics-from-contemporary-logics-9781848903500","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
