LOU GOBLE is Professor of Philosophy at Willamette University. He has published numerous articles in philosophical logic in various anthologies and journals such as Journal of Philosophical Logic, Logique et Analyse, Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, and other more general philosophy journals.
"Suppose your friend – or your student, or yourself – knows a
little logic and a little philosophy. If you wish that person to
gain an early appreciation of philosophical logic, then this book
is a perfect gift – or assignment, or purchase. Written by
outstanding philosophical logicians, its clear and authoritative
chapters guide the reader directly into the heart of each topic.
There are enough details to create genuine understanding, but not
so many as to intimidate. The term 'guide' is exactly the right
word for this splendid book."
Nuel Belnap, University of Pittsburgh
"This is an excellent collection of articles covering the main
areas of philosophical logic, written by front-line,
internationally known researchers in the field. It should be
available in every serious library."
Dov Gabbay, King's College, London
"This volume on philosophical logic is a welcome and manageable
resource. The editor is to be congratulated both on his choice of
material and on his choice of collaborators. The result is a
well-balanced mix of authoritative overviews of classical
mathematical logic and up-to-date accounts of topics in linguistics
and computer science."
Krister Segerberg, Uppsala University
"These twenty chapters cover the areas of logic of greatest
interest to philosophers, and also to computer scientists,
linguists, and cognitive scientists. They are written by
world-class authorities in their fields and give comprehensive and
definitive introductions to their subjects."
Ernie Lepore, Rutgers University
"For those interested in the philosophy of logic an excellent place
to turn would be The Blackwell Guide to Philosophical Logic edited
by Lou Goble. The book consists of 20 specially written essays by
distinguished figures in the field, each with an editor's
introduction."
Times higher Education Supplement
"The intended readership is philosophers and logicians, but there
is much that will be of interest to computer scientists, cognative
scientists and theoretical linguists. The Book is accessible to
non-experts and experts will find much substance in the
essays."
