书目名称 | First-Order Modal Logic | 编辑 | Melvin Fitting,Richard L. Mendelsohn | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Synthese Library | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Fitting and Mendelsohn present a thorough treatment of first-order modal logic, together with some propositional background. They adopt throughout a threefold approach. Semantically, they use possible world models; the formal proof machinery is tableaus; and full philosophical discussions are provided of the way that technical developments bear on well-known philosophical problems. .The book covers quantification itself, including the difference between actualist and possibilist quantifiers; equality, leading to a treatment of Frege‘s morning star/evening star puzzle; the notion of existence and the logical problems surrounding it; non-rigid constants and function symbols; predicate abstraction, which abstracts a predicate from a formula, in effect providing a scoping function for constants and function symbols, leading to a clarification of ambiguous readings at the heart of several philosophical problems; the distinction between nonexistence and nondesignation; and definite descriptions, borrowing from both Fregean and Russellian paradigms. | 出版日期 | Book 19981st edition | 关键词 | Aristotle; Parmenides; design; fiction; flat; interpret; logic; media; modal logic; model; proof; proposition; q | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-5292-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-5292-1Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | issn_series | 0166-6991 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1998 |
